Turtles consume plants, insects and other animals, counterbalancing these populations. As they graze, seeds are deposited. While tortoises are generally land-based, turtles move with ease between terrestrial and aquatic places. In a slow gait they reach a destination successfully. Their natural traits inspire us to set a realistic pace in life. Joleen Tsethlikai’s sunny Turtle has been sculpted from serpentine with lovely patterning. Sweet eyes are from turquoise inlays. About 2 5/8″ long, 1 3/4″ wide and 3/4″ tall.
