Picasso marble, named for its intricate patterning and bold colors that resemble the abstract art style of Pablo Picasso, is a type of dolomitic limestone found in Utah, USA. The natural beauty of this stone is enhanced by the meticulous carving techniques used to create the realistic turtle carving. Each curve and contour of the turtle's shell is expertly sculpted to capture the essence of this beloved reptile with remarkable precision. The smooth finish and polished surface give the piece a luxurious sheen, showcasing both the material's unique characteristics and Lebert's talent. 

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.
