About the Item

A tortoise can live to be two centuries old and this little guy is no exception. Crafted from cast bronze, the shell lifts off to reveal a carved and etched plaque of natural, untreated nephrite jade. Remote the jade disk and the original Midcentury Gump's sticker remains in place. A rare, delightful, and whimsical curiosity for the desk or bedside table -or anywhere you wish to be reminded of just how beautiful longevity can be.
