Real animals, reimagined plump and cheerful — painted in lifelike detail, sculpted impossibly cute.

🐢

Chubby & Full of Character

Rounded, soft and undeniably cute — yet every scale, wrinkle and marking is hand-painted true to the real animal. The reaction it gets in person is always the same: so detailed, and so adorable.

Ready to Display

A single, sturdy hand-painted piece — no assembly, no fuss. Set it on a desk or shelf and it holds its happy pose, ready to collect and show off.

Its beautifully marbled, high-domed shell has earned it the nickname ‘flowerback box turtle.’ The Indochinese box turtle is a forest-dweller of Southeast Asia — and, like so many of its kin, a species fighting to survive the demands of the wildlife trade.

A Shell Like a Painting

Swirls and streaks of cream, brown and black marble across its high-domed shell in an ornate, flower-like pattern — one of the most decorative shells of any box turtle.

A Forest Specialist

Unlike its more water-loving cousins, it prefers the leaf litter of upland forests, a drier, land-based life that this rounded figure suits perfectly.

Closes Up Tight

Its hinged plastron lets it seal itself away inside its ornate shell — the classic box-turtle defense, wrapped in an extraordinary coat.

Critically Endangered

Heavily collected for food and the pet trade, the flowerback is now critically endangered — a living work of art in urgent need of protection.

“A shell painted like a flower — a masterpiece worth saving.”
