Emery Boone : Pipestone, Turtle
Boone
This incredible turtle carving is crafted from pipestone, a type of soft red rock that has been used for centuries by Native American tribes for its workability and vibrant color. Its beautiful turquoise eyes add a touch of rustic elegance to the piece, giving the turtle a lifelike quality. With every nook and cranny carefully carved and each turquoise stone strategically placed, this turtle exudes a sense of craftsmanship that reflects the cultural heritage from which it originates.
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.
