Sailors' lore includes mysterious mermaids who took them to live in underwater kingdoms. It was also believed they could cause huge storms and devastating shipwrecks. Edward Teach also known as Blackbeard was an English pirate who sailed around the West Indies but ordered his crew to steer clear of certain areas believed to be inhabited by merfolk. A beach boulder calls to Kevin Chapman's lovely mermaid to sun away the afternoon. She luxuriates as a clam shell reveals a beautiful carved pearl to her. Red coral features adorn this approximately 1 1/2" deep, 2" wide and 1" tall legendary water creature who symbolizes power and freedom at sea. Creatively carved from one piece of gorgeous turquoise.
