The Faun is a legendary creature from Roman mythology. He is often confused, because he shares common attributes, with the satyrs of Greek mythology.
The turtle is a symbol of eternity, well-being, harmony and fertility. The turtle appears both in art and in popular culture and has different symbolisms depending on the culture of each region. A symbol of slowness in Europe, it symbolizes fertility in Africa and plays a cosmogonic role in pre-Columbian America and Asia, where it is also a symbol of longevity.
