Softshell Turtle Carapace (Family Trionychidae) – Indonesia This refined natural history specimen is an authentic carapace from a softshell turtle of the family Trionychidae, originating from the Indonesian archipelago. Softshell turtles are distinguished by their lightweight, flexible shells and their highly specialized adaptations to an aquatic lifestyle. The dorsal surface displays a finely textured, cellular pattern with subtle tonal variations ranging from ivory to warm beige, emphasizing the organic geometry of the shell. The gently undulating margins and smooth contours give the piece an elegant, sculptural presence. The ventral side reveals the fused ribs and clearly visible vertebral column—key anatomical features that illustrate the evolutionary structure of softshell turtles. These details offer both scientific insight and strong visual impact. Professionally mounted on a minimalist black metal stand, the specimen is ideal for display in a cabinet of curiosities, private collection, educational setting, or refined interior space. Specifications: Origin: Indonesia Family: Trionychidae (softshell turtles) Weight of carapace (without stand): 510 g Total height with stand: 39 cm A rare and visually compelling specimen that elegantly bridges natural history, anatomy, and design.
