Handcrafted Brass Tortoise | Dhokra Brass Art | Best For attracting abundance | Coshal | CD10
Very verryyyy nice. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Shabbily done. Does not look close to what is in the picture.
This art piece is unique & exactly same as shown in the picture. Is certainly appealing & has its place on the center table in the sitting room. Please go for this piece with out a second thought
The queer,quaint dhokra turtle seems to have a life of its own. I had placed it on the table facing proper East,but it turned it's head in a South East direction,where a small picture of Shiva was. It is surely special and has special powers.
