Description

Picked these guys up at a garage sale today. 2 ceramic turtles (maybe porcelain?) with monkeys on their back. They're both the same but different colors all over. They measure about 1.3 feet long from head to tail. I can't really find any distinguishing markings besides a small square stamp with some sort of writing/script and I can't find ANYTHING about them on the internet. The only thing I've halfway figured out is that a turtle with a monkey on it's back is some sort of old Filipino tale. Can do more pictures if necessary. ANY info would be appreciated, thanks!
