"A decorative item that dazzles!"
Not only is this turtle box incredibly structured, the art work on it is carefully done and exceptionally beautiful. It will look fantastic on one of our bureaus once my spouse gets to open come Xmas. Its impressive how the painted design even flows down to cover the turtles feet.
