Queen Cassis Cornuta features the striking Cassius Cornuta shell, symbolizing strength, wisdom and resilience—a crown of power and protection. The sharp points of the shell represent ten virtues, while the flowing turquoise lines around the figure signify energy, growth and adaptability.
 
Her direct, confident gaze challenges you to approach with respect and unlock the hidden knowledge she holds. The turquoise and golden orange hues convey balance—clarity and emotional equilibrium, with a touch of confidence and wisdom.
 
This piece embodies the interconnectedness of strength and grace, merging the shell with the figure, reflecting the harmony of the feminine spirit. What do you see in Queen Cassis Cornuta—a queen, a guardian, or a figure of wisdom?
