shell-backed tortoise-shell ornament seems to be widely used in the Pacific art
world. I came across it in a 1964 paper by H.D.Skinner, who apparently
considered it an established trans-national term. I don't find it in Mihalic or
on the revision web site, or in any other Melanesian Pidgin source I've looked
at. It's not in OED, though it ought to be if it is as widely used as it
