Adrian adds an extra touch of flair by employing sgrafitto art technique, which involves carving intricate patterns into the surface to create texture and depth. And if that wasn't impressive enough, they take it up another notch with turquoise dot inlays. These vibrant blue stones are carefully embedded into the turtle's shell and other details, bringing a pop of color to the overall design. It's a stunning combination that transforms an already striking artwork into something truly eye-catching. Trust me when I say seeing this little guy is guaranteed to make you appreciate the wonders of meticulous craftsmanship!
Turtle (Edo:wa): Turtle has always been esteemed because it carries its home on its back and goes with the flow of the river, not against it. In some mythologies, the first North Americans envisioned the continent as a turtle because it was surrounded by water. Turtle reminds us to respect Mother Earth.
