This is a 12" wood turtle covered in shells from NJ beaches. The back and sides are painted white. Jute is attached to the back with staples to create the hook to hang from. Shells are hand collected from NJ beaches. Sand/shell color may differ from the photo. The photo(s) used are to show you the shape you will receive. The shells and sand are all natural and come from different beaches in NJ. Due to that fact, the color/shapes may vary. Every piece is one of a kind and cannot be duplicated. The piece is sealed with a clear sealant that keeps the little pieces of sand from falling off. DO NOT hang outside or in direct sunlight. Moisture and/or heat will cause the sealant to soften and sand may come loose. Thank you for your interest in Shoreganic.
