AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Splendid pair of artisanal works in yellow mother-of-pearl (Pinctada margaritifera), purple mother-of-pearl (Atrina vexillum), and abalone (Haliotis iris)
The turtles were created by applying mother-of-pearl inlays onto a base of balsa wood.
They each measure about 8 cm by about 6 cm.
The preparation requires considerable mastery and the ability to use natural materials.
The origin of this specimen is from Indonesia.
The materials are not among protected species, so their sale is unrestricted.
They are presented perfectly clean and polished.
Shipping via tracked and insured courier.
