concha
Shell-shaped ear part
A concha is a shell or shell-shaped structure.
In anatomy, it refers to the curved bones in the nasal cavity or the bowl-shaped hollow of the outer ear.
In architecture, a concha is a semicircular dome or apse.
In Mexican baking, a concha is a sweet bread roll topped with a crunchy shell-patterned crust, typically vanilla or chocolate: We picked up conchas from the panadería.
