<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1867749, member: 19463&quot;]My first sea turtle shows the head turned to the side and I believe look better shown swimming left.&nbsp; These early ones rarely have all the limbs and this one is better for it since it allows the three clawed leg to be on flan and clear.&nbsp; It also has a nice beak.&nbsp; I prefer turtles with faces.&nbsp;&nbsp; Round flans were not considered necessary until later. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]314909[/ATTACH]</p><p>It is hard to resist shooting these angles on many turtles. </p><p><img src="http://www.pbase.com/dougsmit/image/112633515.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Another beaked die also has a claw (at the bottom this time) but is most distinctive because of the large die cud that takes up much of the bottom of the field.&nbsp; A die duplicate of this was sold&nbsp; as [ATTACH=full]314912[/ATTACH] but I do not have the references to check it. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]314910[/ATTACH]</p><p>My obol has little to recommend it in terms of head which is at the edge of the flan.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]314911[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>There are a lot of really worn turtles out there.&nbsp; They must have circulated a long time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
