Jade Sleeping Turtle

Eternal Balance: Where Stillness Meets Awakening

 

Discover the quiet strength and timeless symbolism of the jade sleeping turtle. Carved from rich black Australian jade, this piece depicts a turtle gently resting, its eyes closed and posture calm — an embodiment of peace, longevity, and inner stillness. Perfect as a desk ornament, meditation companion, or collector’s item, this sculpture draws from ancient beliefs that the turtle carries the weight of the world on its back, representing enduring patience and stability.

 

In Chinese tradition, the turtle is revered as a sacred creature carrying the world on its back, representing steady strength and unwavering protection. The sleeping turtle symbolizes peace, introspection, and the nurturing power of stillness, while the waking turtle celebrates vitality, mindful action, and embracing each new dawn. As a pair, they remind us to harmonize quiet reflection with purposeful living — a perfect gift for oneself or loved ones seeking balance and good fortune.
