6" Brass Dragon Turtle with Yuanbao Coins – Wealth & Protection Statue

This 6" Tibetan Temple Collection dragon turtle statue unites two powerful symbols—dragon and turtle—into a single mythical creature designed to “gather wealth” and offer protection. Cast in old brass, the dragon turtle stands atop a base of yuanbao ingots and coins, its head raised with quiet confidence.

In traditional feng shui and temple lore, the dragon turtle is said to combine the courage and upward energy of the dragon with the stability and longevity of the turtle. The added layer of yuanbao (boat-shaped ingots) and coins beneath its feet underscores its role as a prosperity enhancer, especially in workspaces and areas related to finance or long-term plans.

Compact yet substantial, this figure is ideal for a desk, home office shelf, or entry console. The warm brass patina harmonizes with neutral, Japandi, and wabi-sabi interiors, adding meaning and story without visual clutter.

Placement & care
Traditionally placed in offices, near ledgers or computers, or in wealth corners of the home, the dragon turtle also sits beautifully on consoles and shelves. Position facing into the room rather than out a window or door, to “hold” energy rather than send it away. Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth; avoid aggressive polishing if you wish to preserve the aged patina.
