The Chinese tradition of shell carving, particularly of giant clam shells, involves transforming these natural materials into intricate artworks, often incorporating techniques from Chinese painting, jade carving, and other artistic traditions.
During the Qin (221-206 BC) and Han (206 BC-AD 220) dynasties, shells were carved with simple patterns of birds and animals or inlaid as ornaments on a wide range of objects, such as bronze vessels, mirrors, screens, tables and chairs.
