Venus Anadyomene is the representation of the Roman goddess Venus (or her Greek equivalent, Aphrodite), emerging from the sea. One of the most famous versions of this is Botticelli's The Birth of Venus, which represents the birth of the goddess as she emerges from a giant seashell.
Seashells also produce mother of pearl, of course...
