Wounaan Tagua Turtle Emerging Egg-Panama 20120406L

White is tagua’s natural color. That is why it is considered an ivory substitute. This is a really good example of a natural carving. There is fine detail on the turtle. The tagua carving’s bottom still has the outer hull in place. It is a lovely carving.
