The shell lifts off to reveal a small bowl to keep change, loose herbs, cone incense, jewelry etc. Could also be used as a incense burning or herb bowl or an ashtray.

Great gift idea for the turtle enthusiast, keepsake collector, MCM era admirer, lover of brass, or someone you thought had EVERYTHING until you realize they indeed need a brass turtle keepsake to adorn their entry table!

Total Measurement 5 3/4”L x 4 3/4”W x 2 1/2”H

Shell (top) alone: 4.25”x4”

Bowl only: 3.75”D and 1 1/4”deep

Base without shell on: 1 1/2” tall

The sheen can be adjusted of course by simply polishing the brass with a soft clothe with or without a brass polish solution.

Due to the varying preference as far as brass sheen, I have not polished this item. If you chose to purchase and want a shiny brassy mirror like sheen you may request the same with your payment and I will polish before I mail out. This will only delay shipping by a day at most. See less
