Description This is a bronze sculpture made by me in 2011. The lenght of the turtle is 60 cm and weight 19 kg. It took very very long to sculpt it first in clay and then to make the small details in the wax and build the casting mold.

I have been an amateur sculptor for 2,5 years and make all the steps by myself unless burning the molds and melting the metal so the price for the works stays low. I work under the eyes of a professional foundryman so few mistakes have happened so far.
