Len has developed a new and creative version of the desert tortoise. Lens` desert tortoise is inspired by her husbands Native American culture. It was believed by Native Americans that everything rode on the back of a turtle as we moved through the universe. This tortoise is raku fired in copper sand and decorated with beads, turquoise, feathers and has a felt bottom to protect whatever you choose to sit the turtle on.
