ANTIQUE 19thC VICTORIAN "BLONDE" TURTLE SHELL ON MOUNTED STAND c.1890

A unique late 19th Century “blond” turtle shell. This particular shell has a natural flaw: a “hunch“. Clearly this natural deformity did not impede this specimen from developing into adulthood. His “hunch-back” would have looked particularly odd to the sailors who captured him in South America at the tail end of the 19th Century.
