The entry in the catalogue for this stainless steel and copper work of Victorian sculptor Benjamin Gilbert reads, and I swear I am not making this up:
"Mythically, the turtle often represents the universe, but at this scale it is a satirical escape pod set to depart a compromised planet, piloted by futuristic pagan children as their spiritual destiny chariot."

Uh, yeah. That's what came immediately to my mind when I saw it, and from the look on his face I suspect that the Weimaraner was thinking exactly the same thing.
