Green Sea Turtle Balsa Ornament

Green turtles are known as the ocean's "lawnmowers" because they eat sea grasses and algae. This is also what gives them their green color.

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".
