Dasavatar tortoise statue

  • Sale! long, horizontal, highly detailed bronze sculpture of a turtle, appearing aged with a warm, reddish-brown patina, is presented against a plain, softly lit gradient background. The turtle, likely depicting the Kurma avatar of Vishnu, is shown in a crawling or resting position with its head extended forward and its four sturdy legs splayed out. The most prominent feature is its intricately carved shell (carapace), which serves as a canvas for mythological storytelling. The central dome of the shell features a stylized swirling or wave-like pattern, from which a concentric band of ten circular medallions radiates outwards. Each medallion contains a miniature sculpted figure, believed to represent the Dashavatara, the ten principal incarnations of the Hindu deity Vishnu. These figures are surrounded by delicate, radiating lines resembling sunbursts or lotus petals. The outer edges of the shell are adorned with elegant, scalloped patterns that suggest waves or divine aura, outlining the individual shell plates with raised ridges and intricate patterns. The turtle's head is also richly ornamented, featuring expressive, slightly bulging eyes and detailed facial contours. Elaborate patterns, including stylized floral motifs and scrollwork, adorn its neck and head, resembling a ceremonial crown or necklace. Its thick, sturdy legs are detailed with similar ornamental carvings on their upper parts, culminating in clearly defined toes or claws. The overall craftsmanship suggests a significant cultural or religious artifact, highlighting traditional Indian artistry and devotion. A faint watermark reading "the Stone" with a leaf icon is visible on the shell. This sculpture is a prime example of Hindu religious art, embodying both artistic skill and deep spiritual symbolism.
