The egg, the essential symbol for life, is the form on which this graceful marble sculpture is based. The large smooth, elegant eggs have a strong visual impact and tactile quality. Children often sit on them or lay across them, after all, it’s not often one can hug a turtle egg.

The sculpture includes eggs from an Eastern Box Turtle, a Rat Snake, a Great Horned Owl, a Common Murrer, and a Sandhill Crane.

Zoological Egg Rest is made from Georgia Marble. 

Made possible through the North Carolina “Art Works for State Buildings” Program
Zoological Egg Rest is located within the Marsh habitat in North America.
