I think this is beautiful. Perhaps post a larger version next time? It's really hard to see any detail.

Lovely! I too would like to see it larger. The material was called 'Tabby'. Shells were burned, and when mixed with water, made morter. More shells were put in for the aggerate. There are quite a few buildings on the south shore that were made this way. St. Simons Island, GA has a few, including a 'pink' church, due to the color of the shells used.
