Whimsy! That’s the word I’d use! I’ve got a decaying turtle foot on my cravat and I feel so fanciful! La la la la la!
Jesus, this thing is disgusting. The only way it could be worse is if there were two of them.

Maybe a wasp was eating the turtle’s dead flesh when she found it. Hence, the bee.

Do these purveyers of animal parts drive around town all day trolling for roadkill, are they serial fauna murderers, or do they happen to operate a hospice care for terminally ill wildlife? Whatever the reality, it certainly doesn’t speak well of the “artist.”
*Shudder*

Well, if you think back to Victorian times, that is when colonialism was going on- you know, British Empire crap. Anyway, far away people and animals, the whole exotic savage thing. People used to cut off elephant feet and make tables out of them and did garish things with other animals, so yes this might really be a reflection of some Victorian ornamentation. Hopefully it was a found turtle leg, like from road kill or something that was dead 50 years, and not taken off, in this day and age, off a live turtle.

Somewhere, someone must be fashioning a turtle foot prosthetic. Whoever said the thing about the turtle vagina (yeah, scrolling up would have been more difficult than typing this) — bravo! and thanks for the giggles.
File this under WTF.
Holy moly.

Glue to a gnarly tree branch and you’ve got a witch’s back-scratcher. Or evil magic wand. Maybe it can set fire to “fairy nests.”

on a mostly serious note: if anyone is actually concerned about where animal parts like this come from, most of them are from taxidermy supply shops. Those folks usually have pretty high standards about using only found (yes, found) carcasses to take things like feet, teeth, fur and bones from. Just an FYI from someone who really digs taxidermy and such…

The brass dangle adds a “touch of whimsy”? One would have thought wearing a dried turtle foot affixed to one’s blouse would be whimsical enough for even the most quixotic of eccentrics.

Is anyone else concerned about the fact that the gold nonsense it the top looks like golden tinfoil?? This is leftovers folks! FANCY LEFTOVERS!
In any case, I’m glad I wasn’t invited to that dinner party. That “brass dangle” is probably someone’s lost earring.
