Roman Turtle Brooch - U-62 pinback Often we forget how universalThis Roman Brooch in the form of a Turtle is now available. The Roman's seemed to love animals as brooches and when I found this turtle brooch, I had to have one and now you can too! My dad for years has had turtle's in the back yard of his house. He named them, Bobby and Al after the Unser brothers, a car racing family from Albuquerque. Bobby is still racing around his back yard! 2 1 16" x 1 1 4", 5. 5 x 3. 3 cm
