The three smaller works, made from different natural stones, are all from China. The mythical connection between turtle and snake occurs more frequently there, but can also be found several times in the collection in Japan and India. In Japan and China, for example, 2025 was the Year of the Snake (which is followed by the Year of the Horse).

The snake sheds its skin - that means: letting go of the old, gaining new perspectives and growing internally.
