A decorative shell souvenir ornament made from: a scallop shell; a spider conch shell; a cone shell; 10 micro-molluscs (crevice shells); and a small bleached branch of coral. Three of the crevice shells have been coloured a flourescent pink. Residue of this pink colouring can also be seen on the tips of the coral branch. On the belly of the conch shell is a small sticker with a picture of a yellow banana with the words "THE BIG BANANA" underneath it.

Although this shell ornament is not a part of her collection, see the related content below for a link to Joyce Cooper-Rogers, a fervent seashell collector whose activities centred on the Coffs Coast.
