White Marble And Serpentine Turtle with Hatchlings by Kevin Quam

$ 54.00

A white marble sea turtle with three green serpentine hatchlings inlaid to the top of its shell. Carved by Kevin Quam, all four reptiles have turquoise inlaid eyes. Kevin has added turquoise dots to the center of the hatchlings' shells as well as on the feet of the mother sea turtle. Then turquoise chips have been inlaid under the hatchlings. Animals carved with their offspring, suggest the work involved in raising them, no matter the species. Indigenous people recognize the turtle as the symbol of Mother Earth - some Native Americans believe that the turtle contributed to creation because the turtle dived into the primeval waters to retrieve mud to create Mother Earth. The turtle is regarded as a skillful navigator through life's difficulties. Turtle medicine teaches one to go with the flow, due to the turtle's proclivity to go with the current.
