About the Item

A bit of an oddball thing, possibly something that has been produced for a film, tv production, a piece created by a artist etc. An oversized faux blonde river Turtle shell, formed in fibreglass with a hand painted exterior. The shell really does look like the real thing, and has a uncanny realistic exterior and form. Fourth quarter of the 20th century in age, and likely a complete one off. Some minor wear and abrasions. 113cm in height 86cm in width 25cm in depth
