The De Carlini Workshop reimagines the endangered sea turtle. Sea turtles have existed since the time of the dinosaurs. This Italian glass version envisions a gold glitter carapace with green design creating the characteristic tortoise shell motif. Its four flippers are outstretched in swimming motion. The quizzical expression is certain to delight “children” of all ages.

Find out about the ancient mariners' oldest known ancestor, how certain adaptations may have helped the reptiles survive, and the conservation efforts being made to save these creatures. See this short YouTube clip from National Geographic.
