Travertine Sea Turtle by Garrick Acque

$ 75.00

A striking sea turtle carved in a two tone brown piece of travertine created by Garrick Acque looking to its right side with turquoise inlaid eyes. Garrick polished the shaped turtle then incised decorative patterns on the turtle's shell as well as minimally on the flippers. The motifs incised on the shell create a shield of sorts and is quite striking. Indigenous people recognize the turtle as the symbol of Mother Earth - some Native Americans believe that the turtle contributed to creation because the turtle dove 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.
