Ditto.  What type of headstock option is this?

James; the seller describes it as an inlaid pearl Alembic symbol; so I'm guessing it's the recessed silver logo with shell which is shown as a $950 option on the custom quote generator.  But I could be wrong, hopefully Mica or Val will be along shortly to ID this beautiful bass.
Here's a picture of an inlaid logo with shell from this month's featured custom:
