Papa Wingo Turtle Shaker - R0026

Made in Peru

The Turtle Shaker family has arrived! Papa extra-large, Mama medium, and Baby.  All musical, like the Partridge Family, but they are Turtles! Made from the nut of the Wingo tree, each is hand-carved in a Shibipo-Coniba indigenous peoples inspired design. Beans are added for the shake-shaker-shake. Sold individually. Papa is at least 6.5"x 4"x 3" tall

On the banks of the Itaya River, Iquitos is a remarkable population hub in the Amazon region of South America. It is the largest city in the world not accessible by road.
