Copper turtle bell pendant.
Description
The turtle bell was first formed with beeswax. Then the turtle bell wax model was embedded in a fine clay material. The clay matrix and the beeswax mold was slowly heated to melt the wax; hardening the clay mixture and creating a hollow negative turtle space. Molten copper was poured into the hollow space; it hardened and formed the turtle bell.
