Set within a design that celebrates simplicity and cheerfulness, this delightful turtle sculpture is a small masterpiece of Val Gardena craftsmanship. Its body, carved with soft and smooth lines, is made entirely of maple wood, the preferred choice of the master sculptors of Val Gardena for small works (2 cm). The natural finish enhances the warm grain of the wood, creating a fascinating contrast with the shell.
Instead of a shell, a marble of artistic blown glass is firmly set, characterized by vibrant and iridescent colors—from cobalt blue streaked with yellow, to deep burgundy with opalescent swirls. This shiny detail gives a touch of magic and uniqueness to each piece. Equipped with four small wooden wheels, the turtle is not just a decorative object but a collectible toy that seems to smile with its stylized and friendly expression. Perfect for decorating a desk or as a symbolic gift, it carries the South Tyrolean sculptural tradition combined with a modern and playful design.
