The “Sangu” or Conch Shell of the Maldives
A traditional Maldivian instrument and cultural symbol, historically blown by island chiefs to gather announcements, emergencies, or work.
Today, it is used for ceremonial welcomes of guests and represents rich, island-based heritage.
Carved from a 2017 5 Rufiyaa banknote, portions of the Conch Shell have been reworked with pieces from around the world.
