Two sculptured shell festoons at the exterior of the Oostkerk (built 1647—1667) at Middelburg (Netherlands) are regarded as an expression of the 17th century admiration for the works of Nature, as is equally evident from pictures and poetry of that era.

Zaden van Entada gigas (L.) Fawcett et Rendle op het strand bij Domburg
