A cameo is a material that is carved with a raised relief that often depicts a profile of a face or a mythical scene. Cameos may be made out of conch shell.

A wind instrument, their natural conical bore is used to produce a musical tone

In the Mahabharata, Lord Krishna blew the conch shell to announce the start and end of battles.

Conch shell sea gem and sea snail Horn held tone gyrates the tritonis trumpet Note blown ending battles on a splinted scale Epitome depictions make cameo’s regret Emergent higher seas, onward this ship shall sail Tidal wave warnings of an uprising onset
