Nautilus shells once belonging to Gladys Elphick
This series contains three nautilus shells which were very important to Aboriginal women; every seven years women from Port Pearce would weave nets to collect the shells as the tide flowed in. The shells were then roasted on a fire, and the animal inside was eaten like an oyster. Afterwards the shells were hung on a tree and eventually carried up north where they were exchanged for other women's things. Each shell is approximately 8 cm x 5.7 cm x 5 cm.
