| Symbol of the Mexican Seashell
The carocol or seashell played an important part in the religious symbolism of the early inhabitants of Mexico, where it symbolized birth and life itself. Some baptismal fonts are carved in marbled in imitation of a giant shell, symbolizing Christian rebirth. Its use as trumpet since time immemorial also symbolized power and authority. | |
