Sea Turtle Shell for sale
This is an antique mounted hawksbill turtle, the sea turtle famed for its overlapping, amber-toned scutes and serrated shell margin. It is a full historic mount, not a modern specimen.
The hawksbill is a CITES Appendix I species, so only genuine antique / pre-Convention specimens with documentation may be traded, and only where local law allows.
This piece is offered strictly as a documented antique. Buyers must confirm legality and provide any import permits required in their country.
