skos:scopeNote
Material made from the thinly-sliced horny plates covering the shells of some turtles and tortoises; the finished material is finely colored gold and brown, translucent, and glossy. It was popular in the 19th-century for inlays, jewelry, hair combs, and other ornaments, but its use is banned today. It differs from "turtle shell" in how it is worked and in the finished appearance; tortoise shell is worked upon like horn, and is usually softened or rendered plastic by placing in boiling water.Sustancia que forma placas callosas y que cubren la caparazón de algunas tortugas.Substantie die afkomstig is van de hoornplaten die de schilden van sommige schildpadden bedekken.Material aus dünn geschnittenen Hornplatten, die Schalen einiger Schildkröten bedeckend.
