Is There An Official Scallop Symbol?

Brad Chatellier

New Member
I'm looking for a scallop symbol to carve into my walking stick.
Is there is a most commonly occuring or official one?
Do you know where I can get it?

Many thanks,
Brad
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
Shell

No official one but try this

I have found a cross of St James easier to carve though

... or you could ask your local fish-store if they sell scallops. Just buy one from him... I have several at home that I have kept after eating at restaurants in Santiago.

I am not sure how easy it is to buy scallops around the world, but it might be worth a try. :)

Un saludo,
Ivar
