The intricate details of the carving capture the essence of this majestic sea creature with stunning accuracy, from the meticulously etched patterns on its shell to the lifelike eyes that seem to gaze back at you with an almost ethereal quality. The addition of turquoise dots creates a mesmerizing contrast against the rich hues of the marble, adding a touch of vibrant color that further enhances its beauty. 

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.
