Does anyone know anything about those strange, Victorian sculptural things made
out of seashells...?  I hate to be so vague, and to use such technical
terms.  Yes my ignorance is showing...

any help would be appreciated.  Any suggestions about research info
would be great, as would the names of these things.

I'm helping to organize a Family Day
that will accompany an Exhibit about the 1890's, Worcester, MA, and
John singer Sargent's visit to said Worcester during that time.  I'm
looking for activities to do that involve popular arts and crafts of
the era...but really want to know what these things are called!

Thanks in advance.
