Carved Shiva Lingam – turtle.

Beautiful light brown Shiva Lingam with a turtle carved inside.
*
A true feat of sculpture, this Shiva Lingam has been hollowed out
to carve a turtle inside this stone.
Whether in Hinduism or Buddhism, the turtle is a symbol of longevity.
The style of carving makes me think this object is the work of a Chinese artist.

UNIQUE PIECE.
