Both.
An artist on Big Corn Island carves these tiny turtles from seeds - about which I know nothing. Each turtle, a small replica of a sea turtle, has a bail by which it can be attached to a necklace or whatever else you might want to attach it to.
I purchased enough of these tiny turtles - and one of the seeds that gives them birth - to line a small bowl-like thing which, in turn, stands on a table in my Virginia home.
Not that it matters at all but I have never figured whether the artist releases one turtle or two sea turtles from each seed:
