About the Item

Decorate a patio, garden, or interior space with this whimsical large turtle sculpture. Crafted in France circa 2010, the terracotta Tortue features a stylized hand-carved shell and finely incised scale details along the legs and head. Resting solidly on its flat base, the sculpture exudes a sense of balance and serenity. The beige glaze with hand-rubbed highlights and worn edges reveals a beautiful aged patina, giving the piece a timeless, antique appeal. Subtle variations in tone and texture showcase the artisan’s hand, enhancing its sculptural charm. Symbolizing longevity and stability, this characterful turtle would lend warmth and natural personality to a veranda, sunroom, or garden landscape. The piece is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, and features a richly textured, rustic finish. Measures: 18” W × 26” D × 12” H. Weight: 41 lbs.
