"Delightful and Joyful Ceramic Art"
I received my sea turtle from Mexico and am extremely pleased with it. It was packed very carefully, came when expected and most importantly, is alive with vibrant color and unique handpainted design. I feel as if the artist Eufronia Pantaleon crafted this particular turtle just for me. I love the Nahaut traditional influence and it makes me feel happy. I shall be ordering similar items in the future for friends and family. Thank you --- Gracias!

"So great I had to keep one!"
I bought three of these for my friends and they came - very well packaged - in plenty of time for me to send them out to my friends. But I like them so much I had to keep one for myself and find something else for one of my friends. One friend lost her husband this year and I knew this would be perfect for her. I included a note expressing my wish for peace for her. To the artist - beautiful!
