On page 110 of my copy of P.W. Hammond's _Food and Feast in Medieval
England_, there's a photograph of the beautiful "Burghley Nef, made from a
nautilus shell mounted in silver parcel gilt, French, 1482...."

It's gonna take an awful lot of food and clothing to get one of these out
of your husband!  ;-)
