The object is made of metal, in accordance with the keywords provided, and has a patinated golden finish. The turtle's head and limbs are schematically depicted, accentuating the vintage style typical of the 1950s. A large circular attachment ring, integral to the body, allows it to be easily suspended from a chain or cord.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe central motif, with its angular and irregular reliefs, gives the piece a handcrafted and decorative appearance, very characteristic of post-war costume jewelry.
