Motif of a restaurant in Paris (above), leatherback turtle "Tortue Gèante unique au monde, Poids 350 kilos". The stately turtle base of a stele (which is no longer preserved, see below) stands on the edge of the old capital Karakorum, Mongolian Empire around 1250, the foundation of which is attributed to Genghis Khan. The turtle already had great symbolic significance in East Asian countries at that time. What is unusual here is the depiction of ears, which turtles do not have.
