Camelotage, mother of pearl work of art by convicts, 19th century

An example of camelotage, work carried out by convicts – prisoners sent to penal colonies, particularly in New Caledonia from 1864 onwards.

- Two large burgaus (Turbo marmoratus) carved and engraved, one depicting a dove and the other a Kanak village with a ship sailing in the distance.

+/- 24 cm wide at the base

- Pair of valves engraved on the outer surface

H: +/- 13.5 cm

The manufacture and sale of these art objects, produced outside of forced labour hours, allowed the prisoners to improve their daily lives.
