Utilizzate in tutto il continente Africano, le conchiglie, ed in particolar modo i cauri, venivano inserite nei gioielli, cucite sugli abiti, portate addosso perché considerate simbolo di fecondità ed eternità; impiegate anche come mezzo di divinazione, avevano la capacità di allontanare gli spiriti maligni. Anticamente servivano anche come moneta e merce di scambio.
