Wooden Turtles
This family of three small hand-carved wooden sea turtles is crafted with intricate detail and finished with a rich dark beeswax polish. The larger turtle measures 6cm, while the two baby turtles each measure 4cm. You can purchase them together as a full family or separately, making them a versatile option for any collector or gift-giver.
Made from Jenpinis wood, a fast-growing hardwood sustainably farmed in Bali, these turtles showcase the wood’s deep, rich grain. Each piece is meticulously sanded and polished to highlight the natural beauty of the wood. The turtles’ detailed carving brings out the essence of these marine creatures, making them perfect as a gift or a unique decorative piece.
These turtles symbolize long life, positivity, fertility, and new beginnings, making them a meaningful addition to your home or a thoughtful gift. They can also serve as a striking centerpiece for parties, gatherings, or special occasions.
Additionally, the sea turtle box, hand-carved from olive wood, is made by artisans in Kenya near the Mombasa coast, with proceeds supporting local schools and communities. The craftsmanship reflects the local culture and artistic traditions of the region.
