Here's a statue that this made me think of.

Not sure why someone would make a statue of a boy having sex with a turtle.

I thought it was depicting Urashima Taro but I guess it could be what you said.

Here is an article on it. It's by my office. And that boy is behind the turtle not on top of it. No one knows the meaning of it. And the guy that made it committed suicide not too long after.
