This brass turtle figurine from Dinant, Belgium, crafted in the 1960s, exemplifies Belgian mid-century modern metalwork. Cast from solid brass, it features naturalistic anatomical proportions with outstretched limbs and a realistically modeled body. The shell bears deep, geometric engravings, displaying a play of matte and glossy surfaces that enrich its texture. Darkened recesses emphasize the pattern, while the head and limbs reveal areas of warm, golden-bronze patina and subtle oxidation characteristic of aged brass. The word 'DINANT' is clearly inscribed on the shell, emphasizing origin and local craft traditions. Typical of the region’s foundries, minor grain marks and casting traces
