Eastern Painted Turtle Balsa Ornament

You can find the eastern painted turtle in ponds, marshes and in the muck. When this colorful turtle is hanging out with friends, the group is called a bale of turtles.

Made out of sustainably harvested balsa wood, these lightweight ornaments are hand-carved and then painted with non-toxic acrylic paint by a cooperative of skilled artisans on Isla Solentiname, Nicaragua. Approximate size: 5" x 2".
