These objects from various countries are partly decorative, partly everyday objects, made of willow, straw and bast, all skillfully woven. There are now other small pieces, for example from China Town in NY. The most famous German artist who created hundreds of animals from bast was Else Stadler-Jakobs (1899 - 1997). In an exhibition dedicated to her in the Textile and Industry Museum Augsburg (2023/24), a turtle was also on display.

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.
