An ancient story belonging to Indigenous Peoples of California says that the Creator placed the Earth on the backs of turtles who couldn’t agree to stay in one place. As they went in different directions, earthquakes occurred. Maegan Shetima’s darling tortoise or Turtle has been carved with a lot of personality from Picasso marble. A rounded carapace is etched with a stunning pattern accented with turquoise inlays. Eyes are from jet. About 2″ long, 1 3/8″ wide and 1 1/4″ tall.
