First off, pipestone is a unique type of rock that has been used by indigenous peoples for centuries due to its beautiful reddish-brown color and ease of carving. The addition of sgrafitto art takes them to another level, giving depth and character to each piece. And oh, those turquoise eyes! They just shine with vibrancy and bring a touch of life to this carving. But it doesn't stop there – Adrian goes one step further by incorporating inlaid turquoise dots, creating a captivating contrast against the deep hue of the pipestone.

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.
