5" Brass Diya on Tortoise Statue for Pooja

This small brass diya rests atop a tortoise, a pairing that brings together two meaningful forms in Indian tradition. The diya itself is a simple oil lamp, cast in hand-worked brass, while the tortoise beneath it serves as both structural base and symbolic anchor. The tortoise's form is rendered with careful detail, capturing the creature's steady, grounded presence. Together they create a compact devotional or decorative piece that works equally well on a shrine, bookshelf, or side table.

Hand cast in brass, this diya-tortoise sculpture has the warm, lived-in patina characteristic of uncoated metalwork. The piece gains character over time as it ages, and its modest footprint makes it easy to position in intimate spaces or as part of a larger collection of devotional objects.
