An engraving of two views of a clear sundial shell, Architectonica perspectiva Linnaeus, 1758 [Architectonicidae; A&D p. 61]. Indo-Pacific, to 50mm. Pennington gives as A. trochlearis Hinds 1844, but that species has a broken line beyond the suture.
Not by Hollar. Entirely engraved, and with a shadow.
