More

Add a touch of tradition, charm, and spiritual meaning to your space with the Dhokra Art Brass Turtle – 3 cm, a beautifully handcrafted tribal showpiece made from pure brass and finished in a rare sky blue antique polish.

Crafted using the ancient Dhokra (Dokra) art technique, this small yet detailed turtle figurine is a reflection of timeless Indian tribal heritage. The lost wax method used to create it is over 4,000 years old and is still practiced by skilled tribal artisans in regions like Bastar, Odisha, and Jharkhand. Every curve, carving, and texture on the turtle is made by hand—making each piece unique and full of character.

In Indian culture, the turtle (or kurma) is not just an animal; it holds deep spiritual significance. It is associated with Lord Vishnu, who took the form of a turtle in his second avatar to balance the universe. The turtle is also believed to bring stability, protection, prosperity, and longevity. With its upward-curved shell and soft blue antique finish, this figurine creates a calming, sacred vibe wherever it's placed.

Despite its compact size—just 3 cm in height and 9 cm in length—this turtle carries deep symbolic weight. It is ideal for placing on your temple shelf, work table, bookshelf, coffee table, or even as a peaceful element in your study, meditation corner, or water fountain setup.

🌿 About Dhokra Art:
Dhokra (also spelled Dokra) is one of the oldest known forms of metal casting, with roots tracing back over 4,000 years. Practiced in tribal regions such as Bastar (Chhattisgarh), Odisha, West Bengal, and Jharkhand, this art form uses the lost wax casting method. Unlike mass-produced items, no molds or factories are used—each item is uniquely handmade using natural materials and age-old techniques passed down through generations.

By purchasing Dhokra items, you're directly supporting rural artisans, preserving heritage, and owning a piece of history made with skill and soul.
