The Jonathan Adler Brass Turtle Box is a decorative lidded box shaped like a turtle, hand-cast in solid polished brass with green malachite inlays on its shell. The shell-shaped lid lifts off to reveal a single compartment, so it works as a small catch-all for jewelry, keys or desk odds and ends. At about 9.5 inches wide it is a substantial piece, sized as a tabletop object rather than a pocket trinket. It sits in the same collectible-animal line as Adler's other brass boxes, and buyers rate it highly for its finish and weight.

The Brass Turtle Box is a solid brass box inlaid with naturally glittering emerald malachite. It has a removable shell-shaped lid and a single compartment.
It is hand-cast from a clay model sculpted by Jonathan Adler and his team in their Soho studio. It is made in India.
To clean it, dust with a soft, dry cloth. A microfiber cloth buffs out fingerprints and minor scratches. A brass polish can be used to remove patina. Harsh chemical or abrasive cleaners should be avoided, as they could erode the protective topcoats.
