Description


The radiated tortoise shell makes beautiful and unique patterns and is truly a wonder of nature. This rubbing, done in charcoal, was created from our very own 'star' Tipsy


The 21-year-old year-old endangered radiated tortoise from Madagascar had an injured left front leg and needed to undergo physical therapy. Tipsy had suffered tissue damage and spent a year getting around on a rehabilitation platform (resembling a skateboard) which allowed him to heal and strengthen his leg. 


Enjoy this beautiful, framed tortoise shell rubbing in your home or office!
