The Galapagos tortoise, also known as the Galapagos giant tortoise, is a species that is native to the Galapagos Islands in Ecuador. Its long lifespan and slow movement have earned it recognition as one of the world’s most iconic species. The fine craftsmanship and attention to detail make this sculpture a true work of art that will be treasured for years to come.We cleverly construct the tortoise by using highly polished limpet shells. They first sculpt the tortoise by hand, then cast it in brass, and heavily silver plate it. They fit the tortoise with an exotic shell back made from limpet shells, which they hinge to create a box lined with faux snakeskin.Sustainability:Shells used by Objet Luxe are ethically sourced from sustainable sources. We only use the finest quality natural  raw materials, all of which comply to CITES and all international environmental legislation.DetailsLength: 34 cmWidth: 26 cmHeight: 15 cmWeight: 3.8 kg
