Two small objects made of parchment-like animal skin and different colored fur strips, with a Sahara crossing (1975) of half-nomads, purchased on the edge of the "corrugated sheet slope" at Agadez, size 7 and 8 cm. Not the animals (also turtles) went into the desert, but the desert came to them. Further turtle motifs can be found under "Search: Sahara".

The pattern of a turtle resembles a mathematical Voronoi diagram. We use a Voronoi diagram here, which displays exhibits on a surface partitioned according to the similarity of the pieces. The similarities of the pieces are calculated by an artificial intelligence algorithm.
