Vintage Hand-Carved Wooden Sea Turtle Figurine | Jamaica Souvenir

Carved by hand with a wonderfully playful posture, this charming wooden sea turtle features a rich, reddish-amber grain and incised detail across its shell. Inscribed with "JAMAICA" across the top, it serves as a nostalgic nod to mid-century Caribbean travel culture and island craftsmanship.

With its head lifted high and delicate carved flippers, this compact figurine makes a delightful tropical accent piece for a desk, bookshelf, or paperweight display.
