This charming Balinese sea turtle holds a secret. It has an interior compartment that's just perfect for keeping items such as car keys and coins close at hand. Artisan Sarwaedi designs and skillfully carves the reptilian creature by hand from suar wood. The bottom half of the decorative box features the turtle's detailed head and flippers while the oval shell acts as the box's lid. Embossed on the carapace is a delightful baby turtle. Ornamental but also suitable for holding a myriad of objects, this sea turtle makes an excellent addition to a table, desk, or vanity.

“Very beautiful, original sculpture”

My wife and I are very happy with our new turtle pair. We bought this as a Christmas Gift for my Mother so we are not going to be keeping it however I plan to buy another one because I really like it. This is really an awesome, original piece and I especially like the large size of it. Nice quality and the shipping was fast and it was packed well. Nice piece Sarwaedi, thank you.

“I hung it up in my living room”

I like it! I have a cross wall and all of my crosses are unique. I like the meaning of this one. A good reminder to have Strong Faith.
