The dragon tortoise has a white carved head and limbs beneath a broad yellow-to-reddish outer surface. Its mouth, curled details and feet are visible from the side, while the upper shell-like mass preserves much of the coloured skin. The three views show the same compact form from different angles. A support should leave the head and feet free of pressure.
