Harriet 1

‘Harriet’ is a homage to Darwin’s journeys of discovery to the Galápagos Islands. Harriet was the name of Darwin’s giant tortoise, which lived to the ripe old age of 147! The body of the tortoise is representative of a starry night sky, including some constellations. The shell shows several silhouetted creatures and specimen bottles.
