| Item | # 0003345452 | | Family | Cypraeidae | | Name | Leporicypraea mappa - VALENTIA SHAPE , (Linnaeus, 1758) |
| Size | 72.9 mm |
| Locality | Timor-Leste |
| Note | VALENTIA SHAPE (inflated)......A prized variation which has held an air of fascination since I began collecting 55+ years ago. And this eye-catcher from a rare location. Super glossy with a bold, stylish, mantle line. A linear pattern throughout, uncannily reminiscent of mappa viridis f. eluceta. Dusty pink lower margins, ends and base. Ultra-mature, callous & heavy. One of the prettiest mappa you are likely to secure. Minimal disturbance on base. Grade: F+++/Gem. Provenance: from my own collection. By diver; on the ledge of a cave, 35m; off Wetar Island, north of Timor-Leste. |
