I have not actually seen this sculpture in person. It was purchased as a 15 year anniversary gift for our son and daughter-in-law in So. California and won’t be opened for at least another week. They love sea turtles and have nautical decor in their home , so it’s certain they will love it and be impressed. The sculpture is described as being made from marble and bronze and appears high quality and substantial. I look forward to the “unavailing”. Thank you in advance! Sharon Lewis
