The seed that can float and drift on the ocean surface driven by the currents and wind, to be washed ashore on a distant beach. Some are not beans at all, but fruits that contain seeds.

Here are some fascinating pieces of folklore about sea-beans:

Sulawesi War Vest:
In some cultures, sea-beans, specifically sea-hearts, were used to make body armor.

Bajugo Warrior Doll:
This good luck doll from the Philippines is composed of several sea-hearts.

Columbus and the Seaheart:
The Seaheart supposedly inspired Columbus to find new land in the west. The Gulf Stream carried sea-hearts to northern European beaches, where they were commonly made into snuff boxes by polishing, cutting them in half, and attaching little hinges.

Good Luck Charms:
Seeds, especially those that double as “sea-beans” or drift seeds, have long been worn as good luck charms. They have been seen as symbols of good luck, longevity, endurance, fertility, etc.

Mary’s Bean:
Also known as the crucifix bean because of the cross indented on both sides. Legend has it that if women are given a Mary’s Bean to hold during childbirth, it will ease the pain. 歡迎訂閱我的頻道   / @daily-seed-art
