Turtles, famous for their hard shell and slow movements, are one of the oldest reptile groups that are still around today. Emerging over 215 million years ago, during the early Triassic period of the Mesozoic era, these cold-blooded creatures are widely distributed all over the world. There are over 300 species alive today, however some species are highly endangered due to habitat loss and hunting. Species of turtles range in weight of anywhere between 2000 pounds (900kg) to as little as 5 ounces (140g).
Turtle Family is a fantastic work of African art that stands as a tribute to these hard working reptiles. Moving ever so slowly along the waters edge, this loving family travels together in search of food and shelter.
Delicately hand carved from African Ebony wood, the Turtle Family African carving is detailed to perfection and finished with a deep and lustrous Mansion polish. The combined weight for the entire Turtle Family African art piece is approximately 1.5 pounds (0.68kg).
The product weight, color and size may vary slightly from the stated information since these items are uniquely handcrafted resulting in minor inconsistencies.
