Albert Eustace, Fetish, Turtle, Jasper, Zuni Hand Carved, 1/2"

This finely detailed Zuni hand-carved turtle by artisan Albert Eustace is crafted from creamy jasper, its smooth surface accented with delicate natural speckles. The turtle, a sacred Zuni symbol of longevity, protection, and life’s steady journey, is adorned with vibrant turquoise inlay on its shell and head, bringing a striking contrast to the stone’s warm tone. Each turquoise dot is set within carefully incised segments, creating a harmonious balance of color and texture. The artisan’s precision highlights the natural beauty of the jasper while preserving the symbolic essence of the turtle spirit. Compact in size yet rich in meaning, this fetish carries both artistic elegance and cultural significance. Its gentle curves invite the touch, making it both a display piece and a meaningful talisman.
