Theme and Style: The lamp is shaped like a turtle, its shell made of geometric glass tiles. The shell is dominated by shades of deep blue, interspersed with a cream/white lower border. The style draws on the traditional technique of tin-bonded glass (lead glass), creating a striking mosaic effect when illuminated.

Material and Finish: The base, which includes the turtle's head, legs, and tail, is made of brass with embossed details that simulate the animal's skin. The lampshade (the shell) is composed of segments of colored glass soldered together.
