    i picked this up at my favorite segunda the other day. i wonder if there's any mythological significance to the owl on the turtle? he's pretty big at over 10 inches across.

      In some Native myth I've long forgotten, there was a story of an owl and a turtle. I think the turtle was the more key part of it, though.
