Omersa Animals
Pre-orders are now closed for 2026. As the Omersa range is now so wide, and every piece is made to order, we place periodic 'group orders' in order to make shipping of the beautiful, but bulky Omersa animals more economical for everyone. Our next 'group order' will be in early 2027.

Omersa's Mini Tortoise makes an unusual paperweight - the tortoise's patience, wisdom and endurance embodied in an exceptional handcrafted piece, featuring intricate shell detailing created through skillful stitching techniques. There is a metal weight inside held firmly in place with woodwool. The eyes are made from knots of leather.
