Underside of a well-carved and sanded tropical wood turtle shell, the rectangular surface serves as a base. The light and dark grain of the wood is natural, only the foreground has been blackened, the structure is emphasized by painted dots, length 27 cm. Inside, four storage areas have been carefully worked out, which are probably intended as storage for a lid shell (back armor). Origin: Zambia, possibly assigned to the small ethnic group of the Rotse.
