Cute name, but the pattern on the bean looks more like the painting "the scream"

The pattern on this bean (ph vulgaris) resembles a monstrance, or ostensorium. Used by the catholic church, a monstrance is a vessel, often made out of gold and studded with precious jewels, to display a religious object of piety to the congregation.

At first glance I thought that I was looking at eyes. I see something different every time I look at it! lol

I have many of these beans, I keep growing crops. I just love to see them grow. I am thinking of marketing them but need some advise on how to do that.
