Guitar made of wood, with the shell of a sea turtle as a resonator, solidly made but no longer functional, probably from the 1960s, possibly from Mexico (or USA), acquired through a flea market visitor, size 90 cm (the shell measures approx. 44 x 35 cm), comes with a red imitation leather cover. Even some African string instruments have resonators made of turtle shells (turtle shells are even used for everyday objects such as bellows).
