A beautifully carved turtle made from natural dolomite, showcasing the stone’s soft, earthy tones and subtle natural variations. Its smooth, polished surface highlights the careful details of the shell and body, while deep black eyes provide a striking contrast and bring the turtle to life. A simple yet charming carving that captures the peaceful and enduring nature of the turtle.

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.
