Tortoise
Stone sculpture of a Tortoise by unknown artist. The sculpture is in black and white. The tortoise's body is rendered largely in a light stone, with darker patches. The animal faces left and has its legs splayed out to the sides. The head protrudes from the body on a long neck and has small circular eyes. The back of the tortoise is flat and largely smooth, with indentations on the edges and sides. It has four clawed feet. The background is dark grey with a shadow cast to the left.
