Brass Tortoise Diya 1.8 Inch

Brass Tortoise Diya – 1.8 Inch Handcrafted Brass Kurma Oil Lamp

This magnificently handcrafted Brass Tortoise Diya is a deeply auspicious and ornate oil lamp that combines two of the most powerful Vastu and spiritual symbols in Hindu tradition — the sacred Tortoise (Kurma) and the divine Diya (oil lamp) — into one beautifully crafted piece. The tortoise is one of the most auspicious symbols in Hindu, Vastu Shastra, and Feng Shui traditions, representing longevity, stability, protection, and the divine avatar of Lord Vishnu (Kurma Avatar). Lighting a Diya placed on a tortoise is believed to amplify the positive energy of both symbols, bringing prosperity, peace, and divine blessings into the home. This exquisite piece features a wide, shallow flared oil lamp bowl (Diya/Deepam) with a beautifully scalloped/petal-edged rim and a single wick spout, the exterior of the bowl covered in dense all-over repoussé floral and peacock scrollwork with rich dark red enamel/lacquer fill in the recessed areas, revealing a beautiful sunburst/lotus medallion pattern inside the lamp bowl when viewed from above. The lamp bowl is mounted via a short decorative connector on the back of a beautifully detailed Tortoise (Kurma) figurine — the tortoise body featuring intricate filigree/jali scrollwork on the shell, with a detailed head, four legs, and tail all rendered in fine relief. The entire piece is crafted in antique golden brass with rich dark red patina in the recessed areas, giving it a warm, temple-quality aged look. Weighing approximately 70 grams with dimensions of 1.6 inch (H) × 1.8 inch (L) × 2.4 inch (B).
