Highly Empathetic Rusty Old Welded Iron Garden Turtle seagull on driftwood two word textFound in Maine, I think this guy lived in a yard for a good many years, to my eye perfectly rusted and aged, as well as perfectly crude and a total charmer of a thing. Welded together of iron pieces, including a sweet little tail, and with a raised design animating his shell. 7 1 4 l x 4 5 8 w x 1 7 8 t, much aged and rusty but nut shedding, all to the good.
