Both the turtle and the crane symbolize a long happy life. Reminiscent of ancient Chinese and Japanese art, the turtleback crane is a depiction of an old Japanese folktale in which these unlikely pairs become friends. Featuring a lost wax cast brass sculpture with an oxidized antique bronze finish, this accent is sure to be a topic of discussion in your home. This set of two is ideal for displaying on a table in your sunroom or a mantel in your living area.
