I love sharks (unless I think there’s one in the water nearby) and I love fossils, so what better combo is there than a megalodon jaw framing up a live shark swimming amongst a squid and some fishies? The cowl also features meg teeth along the borders, with a deep sea lower hem that splashes around the jaw for an airy upper hem.
