A beautiful little turtle trilogy - hand carved from smooth bone

This is a finely carved pendant.

Turtles have long played a role in mythology in many cultures: in China they are a symbol of tenacity, longevity and power; in Japan he is the God of the seafarers and in North America the ancient belief is that the "Turtle of the World" carries the earth on his back!

In the South Pacific, the tortoise, or Honu, is a symbol of fertility, longevity and peace. Shell motifs are often seen in carvings and tattoos and are believed to represent family relationships and the concept of unity. The sea turtle is also renowned for its navigational skills. They travel great distances and have an innate ability to find their way home. These delicately and carefully carved pieces are very special: if you like the ocean and appreciate the many creatures that live there, this little pendant is a fantastic and eye-catching piece.
