Jumbo, the fruit bowl, is the most famous African elephant captured in Ethiopia in 1869. He spent some years at London Zoo in England. Jumbo was a particularly large specimen whose name has become one of the most important synonyms for “big”.

George, cake stand with dome, is a rare giant turtle; a tribute to the last one specimen of Chelonoidis abingdoni extinct in 2012.
