Whale on Stand - Patriotic - Metal & Capiz

Similar in appearance to Mother of Pearl, Capiz Shell is coveted for its delicate appearance and natural luster. Capiz comes from the shell of the Placuna Placenta mollusk, nicknamed the Windowpane Oyster because of the glasslike quality of their shells.

As far back as the 1500s, Spanish settlers in the Philippines utilized these to create stained glass windows for churches.
