Default Turtle shield

Anyone seen one of these before ?

It is definitely shell although whether terrestrial or marine I am not sure.
I would say marine as I think the tortoises are usually more "domed"

It is only 10 1/2 inches across.
The bosses and fish are brass.
The moons and central plate are iron or steel.

As usual, all comments will be welcome.

Regards
Roy
