Condition
Overall very good condition. The turtle-back tile presents with dynamic swirled decoration and a naturalistic irregular surface. The gilt bronze setting is in good condition with scattered surface scratches, abrasions, and areas of wear to the gilt finish consistent with age and gentle handling. A wonderful, highly attractive object displaying an unusual decorative treatment to the green tile.
