Bronze About 13 inches head to tail. Brown patina.
My brother Chris has a turtle named Baby Lucy. Baby Lucy gets baths and she loves cherry tomatoes. Last summer, Chris mentioned he would like a turtle sculpture. Because he lives in New Mexico, I decided to use New Mexico Indian designs on the turtle shell. In the two sections closest to the head and the two sections closest to the tail of the shell, are designs of birds from four different New Mexico Indian tribes. I used American Indian Design and Decoration as a source for the designs. The remaining sections contain my own interpretations of American Indian designs.
Luckily, Chris likes his New Mexico turtle and she happily resides at his house. I wonder what Baby Lucy thinks. At least she doesn't have to share her cherry tomatoes.
