Tortoise Statue

Design Toscano has all kinds of statues from many religions that are well sculpted and intriguing like our large Buddha statue.  If you are looking for a bit of the tropics and want a statue of a god, then feast your eyes on Tiki Gods Statue: Gods of the Three Pleasures now on sale.  These gods look like they might have been to the Tiki bar too often and yet had a really good time.  The statue stands 35 ½ in. high and shows the three Tiki gods carved in a wood grained designer resin.

What if you were looking for something as much fun as our tortoise sculpture, but with a tropical flair?  Then you would look directly at our Garden Jazz Frog Musician Statue: Set of Three Frogs.  The three frogs are standing on separate lily pads and are playing a saxophone, flute and fiddle respectively.  They are approximately a foot tall each and can be bought as a set or separately.

We have many, many gift items in our gifts collections some just a little different such as our gargoyle gifts.  If you have a friend that is a Parrothead (follower of Jimmy Buffett) or just someone who loves parrots, this is the gift for them.  It is the Parrot Bottle Opener and no pirate ship would leave home without one.  The parrot is done in tropical colors and opens bottles with his mouth.

The variety of items at Design Toscano is amazing.  You need to browse our catalog and see all the great things we have and also check out what we’ve got in our new Fall items for 2011.  If you are a fan of some of our weirder items like our Bigfoot statue, you might really enjoy the Zombies at the Door Wall Sculpture. Done with the same detail that our more “classical” sculpture displays, this Zombie appears to be coming right through your wall like the “Night of the Living Dead”. 

We love animals of all kinds and our artists make them look so real it is like they are living in your backyard even if they are giraffes, hippos or our outdoor elephant statues.  Now if you want to take exotic animal sculpture inside, look no further than the Elephant’s Majesty Glass-Topped Cocktail Table.  The base of this table is a sculpture of a mother and baby elephant, with the baby lifting up his trunk up to mom. This sweet sculpture is topped with a sturdy glass top showing the piece in all its beauty.

Design Toscano has so many wonderful outdoor animal statues that show our animals in many different poses like our tortoise statue that spits and the shark coming out of the pool.  Some of the cutest poses are when our animals are digging like the Highland Terrier Digging Dog Statue.   All the artist shows is the bum, tail and back legs of this terrier who has his head in a hole after something.

If you have not been browsing the Design Toscano marble busts for sale collection, you have been missing out on some wonderful things.  These are not just the typical busts of Greeks and Romans, but something from every different culture.  Here you will find The Golden Shroud of Tutankhamen Egyptian Bust Statue.  This large bust is 27” high and is a Design Toscano exclusive.  It is easily recognizable as the golden mask so often representing Tutankhamen exquisitely hand painted.

Many people collect elephant statues, elephant designs and artists’ renderings, such as our wonderful collection of outdoor elephant statues.  Some elephant design is very different and inspired from the continent of Africa such as The Serengeti Wall Mask: Elephant.  This wall mask done by a Nigerian artist has a tribal design and is marvelously carved.  It is, of course, hand painted and features faux gems in the design.

There is something soothing yet incredibly cute about a tortoise statue, be it named tortoise or turtle.  We have a very cute water fountain named Three Turtles on a Coral Reef Solid Bronze Garden Sculpture.  This adorable fountain depicts the turtles spitting water out of their mouths as they rest on a piece of coral reef, finely detailed in solid bronze.

Design Toscano has something for everyone, no matter what they might be looking for.  Many customers love our large Buddha statue and have one in a meditation garden for peace and serenity.  To add another element to this serenity, we have the Grand Buddha Meditation Fountain adding the sound of water to your peaceful space.  This fountain is 38 ½ inches tall and has water cascading over a figure of the meditative Buddha.  The pool at the bottom of the fountain is lit so that it can be appreciated on a warm summer’s evening.

Many of our customers are owners of our slow moving guy, the tortoise statue.  Now you can own the crazy rabbit that he raced against.  Carotene, the Bunny Rabbit Garden Statue is a fabulous rabbit that stands a foot and a half tall.  He is hand painted in white and has a carrot in his mouth and in case he eats that one he is carrying some for later.  Like all of our animal statues, he is done in great detail and is incredibly cute.

We have many statues of large animals like our outdoor elephant statues and our tall giraffe statues; these are all great representations of living animals.  If, however, you would like something not as ordinary in your yard take a look at the T-Rex Dinosaur Garden Sculpture.  Just like all our other animals, he is lifelike and seems to be living in your garden today.  Won’t your neighbors be surprised.

If you have been looking for a unique Asian god to put in your garden like our Buddha outdoor statues, now is the time to shop for one.  The Hindu god Shiva is not as frequently seen as Buddha as an outdoor ornament, but the Dancing Shiva Grand-Scale Statue is beautiful to behold and can find a place in your outdoor garden or even indoors.  Shiva symbolizes the ebb and flow of life and is dancing in a circle of cosmic energy.  She is hand painted and is four feet tall.  This is a Design Toscano exclusive.

The summer is the time for clam bakes, lobster and crabs, all so delicious eaten outdoors.  To bring this salty theme to your yard we have crustaceans that are as well done and even more fun than our tortoise statue, but with the same hard shell.  These are Tropical Crabs Wall Sculpture: Set of Two and they are colorful crabs that can climb your garden or patio wall.  They are hand painted in a wonderful tropical hue and will make you want a crab cake immediately.

During the Fourth of July Sale is a great time to pick up that gargoyle figurine that you have wanting to complete your décor.   One of the favorites and most attractive (for a gargoyle that is) is Talisman, Gargoyle of the Eclipse Statue.   Almost a foot tall and finished with Gothic green, Talisman is a well detailed  gargoyle, whose evil face and spiked horns will create a stir in your yard.

Everyone that is interested in increasing the serenity of their outdoor space should take a look through our Buddha outdoor statues.   One of the most unusual of these is a frieze that can be placed on a garden or patio wall.  This is the Earth Witness Buddha Sculptural Wall Frieze depicting the Angkor Khmer Buddha which is sculpted in great detail in designer resin and is a Design Toscano exclusive.

There is always something special about a gargoyle gift.  It certainly may not be what the recipient was expecting, but if it is a Design Toscano gargoyle it will be well received.  A very useful and stylish gargoyle gift is Flush the Gargoyle Bathroom Tissue Holder.  Imagine the surprise on your guests faces when they search for the toilet paper and find it being held by a scary gargoyle with wide wings sticking his tongue out.  This is fantastic and another exclusive of ours.

Sometimes our various themes of statues mix with each other as in the case of some of animals that find themselves in the gnomes’ garden.   The gnomes are hard-working gardeners and they also love the crawlies that end up in their space such as a tortoise statue.  The Teeter with the Turtles Garden Gnome Statue is one of our gardening gnomes pushing a wheelbarrow on which he is giving a ride to two adorable turtles, both wearing gnome hats.

The 3 Day Egyptian Sale starts on Thursday, June 16th, so make a point to come in and see all the wonders of Egypt.
   

Many of our well designed reptiles love to have fun in the garden like the tortoise statue does.  We have iguanas, tortoises, turtles, snakes and many fun frogs.  One of our fun frog sculptures is the Stacked Frogs Cast Iron Statue.  This statue is done in cast iron, so is weighty enough to hold open a door and really attractive in a green patina.  There are four frogs piled one on top of the other from the biggest to the smallest, maybe starting a game of leap frog.

Our garden statues gnomes are sculptures for the yard that work hard, sleep hard and sometimes just want to have fun.  One of their fun sculptures is the Dancing Duo Garden Gnome Statues.  This gnome couple seems to be doing the dosey doe, swinging their partner to music that only they can hear.  They are dressed in traditional gnome with the red hats and the long beard on mister gnome, dancing around your flowers or vegetables.

If you are interested in a medieval theme in your yard, we are always getting more and more medieval statues and artifacts.  A very authentic knight statue is the Replica 13th Century Medieval Warrior Soldier Lost Wax Bronze Statue that stands four feet tall and is cast from a 19th Century French bronze statue. 

There is always something new and fun in our greenmen collection.  This collection is inspired by the trees and leaves all around us.  If you are in the market for a nice gift, the Forest Spirits Greenmen Goblet Collection: Grendel the Green and Lady of Leaf is a beautiful set of goblets that would suit any gift giving moment.   The sculptural work is done in detailed designer resin, but it surrounds stainless steel removable dishwasher safe inserts.

The Meerkats are always popular because they are so cute and charming.  They always seem to be enjoying themselves at whatever they do.  A very nice example of this is the Meerkat statue entitled Mother and Pup Meerkat Sculpture.  This sculpture is done with our usual lifelike animal sculpture style in quality resin with hand painted fur and facial details.

Among our wonderful animal statues we have a nice collection of turtles and tortoise statue.  One of the cutest is done in bronze and is piped for use as a fountain or in a pond.  These are the Sea Turtles Bronze Garden Sculpture depicting two swimming turtles cast in solid bronze and spouting water.

Design Toscano is proud of its fun Meerkat sculpture and now we have one that brings the fun inside your home as well as in the yard.  Our Meerkat Clan Sculptural Glass-Topped side table is absolutely the best piece to bring the Meerkat joy indoors.  This table has our favorite well sculpted Meerkat clan, two standing and one lying down, under a tree on which a 18 ½" beveled glass top rests.  A great place for cocktails and snacks and hopefully the Kats won't grab any.

A tortoise statue is usually a sedate item as tortoises and turtles tend to do everything at a pretty slow pace.  However, we do have a statue where the turtles decided to have a little fun.  This is our Three's a Crowd Stacked Turtle Statue.  It appears that the big man of this turtle family has gained some baggage with two smaller turtles riding on his back in a turtle stack.  These guys are so lifelike you will expect them to move at any moment and the wonderful hand painted design on their shells will definitely cause comment.

Our outdoor elephant statues are second to none and designers are creating new and playful ideas for these pachyderms.  A great one is The Hear-No, See-No, Speak-No Evil Elephants another stack of outdoor animals from Design Toscano.  These are the lucky elephants with their trunks up, piled upon one another covering their eyes or ears or mouth.

Even if you have never been on an African safari, you can decorate your house and yard as if it was one.  We have many great African animal sculptures that are truly lifelike and when scattered around your yard, it will feel like the Serengeti.  Design Toscano is known for its wonderfully detailed tiger sculpture, but how about another striped animal.  One such sculpture is Zarien the Zebra Sculpture.  This beautiful animal stands proudly at almost three feet tall and watches all that is going on around him.  He is another of our Design Toscano exclusives.

We have many statues of all types of animals from the not too exotic tortoise statue to our very exotic African animal collection.  In keeping with the theme of African animals in your yard, we might suggest our Prowling Spotted Jaguar Statute.  This jaguar is about four feet long and has the very distinct spots hand painted on his coat.  He is muscular and sleek and another Design Toscano exclusive design.

Bring the exotic animals inside and make your home décor pop with style.  We have many different table series such as our Gothic tables that are just a little bit out of the ordinary.  The Maharajah Elephant Glass-Topped Sculptural Table is another Design Toscano exclusive and is a wonderful elephant dressed to carry a king or at least a cocktail.  With all these exclusives, why would you shop elsewhere.

Every home and dwelling needs a bit of peace and serenity be it in the indoor or outdoor décor.  Home is where you come to relax after a busy day.  Our Basil Street Gallery carries a wide selection of statues, wall decorations and ornaments for every mood.  When looking for serenity look no further than The Three Virtues Buddha Wall Sculpture.  This wall piece is of the face of the Buddha reflected three times in a stance of meditation.  Nothing is more calming.

The serene garden and yard is what everyone is looking for on a summer evening for simple relaxation.  To accompany our Buddha outdoor statues, we have The Nara Temple: Asian Garden Pagoda Sculpture.  This temple piece is two and a half feet high and has five levels to the building.  It is set in a dark resin and looks divine and serene against the sky and the trees.  One of the impressive things about this sculpture is all the detail that is in the temple and it is a Toscano exclusive.

Many people sense peace and quiet in the slow movement and life of the turtle.  In our tortoise statue collection we have a nice selection of tortoises and turtles just going slow and being laid back.  One of the most adorable is the Turtle Bronze Garden Statue who is just strolling along the garden wall with his head out to see what he can see, peacefully and quietly.

Design Toscano is known for its lifelike animal statuary such as the tiger statue.  These statues look wonderful in a grassy yard or outdoor space.  One of our other outdoor animals might look good on a patio, but not too close to the grill.  This is our Contemporary Lion Solid Bronze Garden Statue.  This lion is so regal looking that you might want to build him a throne and so well sculpted that every muscle glistens.

We have popular playful animal sculptures like our Meerkat statue and the Meerkat families that romp in the yard.  You might, however, want something to guard the chickens like our Fanciful Fox Solid Bronze Garden Sculpture. The Fanciful Fox is well detailed and strong looking, yet you get the feel that he could be away in flash.

Many animals like to be in and out of water or near a water pond like our tortoise statue does.  If you don't have room for or don't really want a pond that needs a lot of maintenance, you can achieve the same feel with one of our small ponds with animals.  One the cutest of these vignettes is the Ducklings with Basin Bronze Garden Statue.  This is a wonderful little scene with the ducklings playing around and in the basin and looks great near a flower garden.

Our tiger sculpture is just amazing and needs to be seen to be appreciated.  We have sleek prowling lifelike looking adult tigers walking around the yard or sleeping in the shade.  You can perhaps picture some of the cute little tiger cubs prancing around the table, yet so quiet and immovable they are no danger at all.  We also have one tiger statue which is not done in the lifelike tiger veneer, but is sculpted in metal showing off all of his great musculature by the artist Antoine Louis-Bayre.  This is the elegant Prowling Tiger that overshadows all others outside.

If tortoises or turtles do not naturally visit your yard, you can add a tortoise statue to your décor.  We have tortoises in all sizes from the large Galapagos tortoise to the smaller but cute Aesop's tortoise.  If you are contemplating building a tranquil space we have two tranquil tortoises, one large and one giant, the Tranquil Tortoise Sculpture Giant is pictured here.

A garden fairy statue or more can brighten up the outdoor décor.  We have these sculptures in marble, bronze and other materials that give these fairies life and fancy.  One of the most beautiful of these is Brittany the English Fairy Sculpture with the great butterfly wings who can bring charm and grace into any space.

In a bed of flowers, just in the grass or in a stone or tile yard section, a tortoise statue is a cute, creative addition to outdoor décor.  The very largest tortoise statue, the Galapagos Tortoise Statue, is more than five feet with incredibly lifelike features.  Children will love to play around and sit on this cute guy. Not everyone has enough space for him so there is our smallest tortoise, Aesop's Turtle Cast Iron Statue, only 10" long can easily fit into a restful Zen garden as an Asian symbol of longevity and peace.  Of course, there are several tortoises sized in between to suit every need.

Tiger sculpture is so charming and so unusual that it will always draw a compliment.  Whether you choose the totally adorable Tiger Cub, or a larger tiger such as the Sumatran Tiger, your outdoor space will have a certain touch of India.  Your choice is unlimited from sleeping tigers to prancing cubs.
In continuation of an animal theme, take a look at the Meerkat statues. 

The Meerkat Clan Statue, is a wonderful family of meerkats that come with their own log, grass and stream.  They are just out for a playful romp.  The Kalahari Meerkat Statues: Into the Hole, and Out of the Hole, placed on opposing sides of the yard will never cease to surprise everyone.

Other than its slow pace and its old age, there is more to the tortoise than meets the eye. This sage, wise animal has been depicted in several religions and ideologies for its mysterious tendencies. In Hinduism, Vishnu took the form of a half-man half-tortoise, the lower half being a tortoise. Furthermore, Tortoise shells were used by ancient Chinese as Oracle Bones to make predictions.

Design Toscano offers several Tortoise statues that you can introduce to your yard's other garden statuary and animal yard statues, like Aesop's Turtle Cast Iron Statue.

Design Toscano offers an extensive collection of animal garden statues that includes a substantial amount of wild animal yard statues, including tortoise statues, tiger sculptures, and more! Delight visitors to your garden, pool, or patio with our outdoor animal statues. The lifelike appearance and fine detail of these garden sculptures are found only at Toscano!
