The Indigenous Wayuu Nation's worldview is chock full of stories about the sea and its inhabitants. They consider themselves protectors of an ancient culture based on maintaining a harmonious alliance with nature, the mountains, the trees and animals who are regarded as kin. Dreams of marine turtles are considered messages from Maleiwa (God) and the ancestors. Jesus Armando Espino's fish rock serpentine sea Turtle pairing is a visual wake up call to respect all creation and their vital purpose in life. Sweet eyes are from jet inlays and the hatchling's nicely designed carapace is inlaid with jet. About 3" long, 2 3/8" wide and 1" tall.
