"Nothing like it!"
Every special set of earrings or rings - those small favorite things of ours always at the risk of getting lost - needs a special box that WONT get lost or fail to get our notice (with a smile. Its hard not to smile back to this wee turtle!!). The box is light, almost the lightness of one of those oldfashioned wooden planes kids used to fly. The painting itself is exquisitely playful, playfully lovely, whimsical. I gave this jewelry box as a gift~ and, upon visiting the recipient, I was delighted to see the wee turtle given center stage surrounded by lights!

"Love this turtle!"
It is very well made and the detail and colors are wonderful. Its a little hard to take apart if you want to use it as a place to store jewelry or whatever ... and as a storage container, it is a bit small. But I bought it just as an interesting and vibrant decoration.

"Gifted"
I gave it as a gift to my Acupuncturist. She loved it so much that she gave it a separate special place of its own so patients can see it as they come into the office. First day she received compliments on how unique and beautiful it was. Great carving job to Gusti Ngurah Semarajaya! Thank you.
