Camino de Santiago Bronze Scallop Shell

This gorgeous solid bronze scallop shell is similar to directional markers on the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route. Forged in Galicia, this impressive shell is a beautiful way to commemorate your Camino experience, and is a wonderful gift for your favorite peregrino. It is packed in an attractive wooden gift box, each hand numbered by the maker.

We remember walking through Logroño and seeing similar shells embedded in the street, directing pilgrims on their way through town.

The scallop shell is the symbol of Santiago (Saint James), the patron saint of Spain. Legend has it that his body miraculously arrived in Spain from the ocean. When it washed ashore, it was covered in scallop shells.

We saw this beautiful solid bronze shell in a shop in Santiago de Compostela, the destination city of the Camino de Santiago. We discovered that it was forged in the nearby city of O Coruña by local artisans. You can mount it on a small easel, attach it to the wall or feature it in your yard or driveway to recreate the Camino experience.
