Do you know what the story is behind the turtle? I like the etchings on it. It looks bronze?

It is bronze. The story behind the fountain itself is fascinating. For a general overview, go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Genius_of_Water
The gallery I blog for has a book about the making of the fountain. I will see if I can find out the story behind the turtle for you.
