Native American Navajo White Clay Small Round Jewelry Box with Turtle by Hilda Whitegoat

This beautiful round Navajo etched jewelry box has traditional Navajo symbols etched all around the base and in a circle on the lid of the box is a wonderful etching of a turtle with the four directions on the shell. The turtle is a symbol for longevity and for water, a scarce resource in the desert southwest. It is believed by many Native Americans that we are living on the back of a turtle. Perfect for keepsakes, or that special piece of jewelry. The interior is fully glazed.
