A Switzerland bar manager plans to sell an oyster shell he says bears the likeness of Jesus Christ.

Matteo Brandi, 38, reportedly hopes to repeat the success of a Florida woman who sold a grilled cheese sandwich said to bear an image of the Virgin Mary for $28,000, the BBC said.
Brandi said he had found the shell, whose contents have since been eaten, in a batch two years ago. The oyster stuck to his hand as if God was calling him, he said.
Brandi, who describes himself as a devout Catholic, told Switzerland's Le Matin newspaper he had kept the shell on top of the bar's stereo after he found it. Now a bank is taking care of it for him.
