We love these little turtles that Dilbert makes. Not only are they traditional, they're truly little beauties. This one is carved in highly polished black marble - a contemporary, angular design - then etched beautifully on the shell, claws and head.
Dilbert has inlaid a traditional Zuni Sunface in the center of the turtle's shell in Mother of Pearl, turquoise, jet and red coral. The inlay is tiny and precise - jewelry quality. The turtle has turquoise inlaid eyes. Just exquisite. Signed.
