Cowries have often been considered to be symbols of female fertility. They were often treated as actual fertility charms. The dorsum of the shell resembles a pregnant belly, and the underside of the shell resembles a vulva. In the South Indian state of Kerala, cowries are used for making astrological predictions.
In Santeria, shells are used for divination purposes.
The Moche culture of ancient Peru worshipped animals and the sea, and often depicted shells in their art.
