Product Description

Symbolizing longevity, stability, and protection, this exquisite Golden Turtle Dhokra Craft is a finely handcrafted bronze figurine created using the ancient Dhokra lost-wax casting method. This rare metal art traces its origins to the Bronze Age and the Indus–Saraswati Valley Civilization (5000–10000 BC), preserving a tradition that has endured for millennia.
Cast using the rare Golden Dhokra casting technique, this sculpture features a radiant golden turtle form inspired by nature’s gentle guardians, including the sea turtle, marine turtle, and the culturally revered olive ridley—a species closely associated with the coastal heritage of Odisha. The warm golden tone enhances its textured tribal detailing, making it a striking piece of turtle art and turtle craft.
Made from recycled scrap alloys, this eco-friendly and sustainable Dhokra metal craft reflects harmony with nature in both material and meaning. The handcrafted surface and organic form elevate it as a timeless turtle showpiece, ideal as a turtle figurine, gold turtle statue, or golden turtle statue for mindful interiors.
Handmade in a remote village of Odisha, surrounded by pristine natural beauty, each sculpture carries subtle variations that celebrate the authenticity of true Dhokra art. Perfect for collectors, nature lovers, or those searching for meaningful décor—whether as a mini turtle figurine or a symbolic accent—this piece brings calm, balance, and cultural depth into any space.
