Complete tanks of a Greek tortoise (Testudo Boettgeri), with a beautiful pattern, in the floor slab a butterfly (s. Own page, "Search: Butterfly") is perceptible, size 17 cm. A metal -based lid with hinge was embedded at the top. If you open it, a built -in metal container for victory can be seen, depth 4 cm. Acquired in the antique palace (Munich), an English work around 1890. By the simple intervention with a toy soldier (from the flea market), the double symbolism of the "tank" becomes emphasized.
