Turtle Tchotchke Tuesday

An inscribed and painted soapstone egg with turtles.

Also shown is a painting of a scarab brought back by Mom and Dad from an Elderhostel trip to Egypt. Well, it looks a bit like a turtle (with six legs)!

Pretty pieces, all! I also love the Nambé egg stand!

Your pieces are very nice.

I don't remember the scarab painting. I got Jack a carved scarab in Egypt,because that was his favorite bug when he was a kid, as I remember him saying. It may also be carved from soapstone, but I don't know.
