Patrick Wallace: Etched Pipestone, Turtle
Patrick Wallace: Etched Pipestone, Turtle
Wall-ace
This charming little creature is not only a work of art but also holds deep spiritual significance for many Native American tribes who believe that turtles symbolize longevity, protection, and harmony. The choice to use pipestone—a material sacred to many Indigenous peoples—adds another layer of meaning to this piece, connecting it to ancient traditions and beliefs. And let's not forget those gorgeous turquoise eyes that seem to draw you in with their mesmerizing 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.
