Iconic scallop shell #252430029
Description
The iconic scallop shell on the beach between Aldeburgh and Thorpeness looked wonderful on Saturday afternoon with a touch of September sun shining off the four-meter high steel sculpture and the sea in the distance. Unveiled in 2003 as a striking tribute to Benjamin Britten ââ¬â one of the twentieth-centuryââ¬â¢s most important composers who spent much of his life in Aldeburgh and nearby Snape; the Scallop was conceived by Suffolk-born artist Maggi Hambling, and made by Aldeburgh craftsmen Sam and Dennis Pegg.
