Wooden Elephant

$190.00

An exceptional work carved with the finest of details. Meticulous work that takes decades of practice and skills passed on from one generation to the next. Created by the artist Kalpesh Singhania who operates from his studio in Jaipur, Rajasthan. The elephant is carved out of only 1 piece of wood. The wood used is a highly cherished varietal called Sheesham. If one looks carefully, it contains another baby elephant inside its belly. The intricately carved baby elephant is carved through the holes maintaining the integrity of the entire piece. Elephants are extremely popular in India. Considered a symbol of Lord Ganesha and inherently a sign of good luck and fortune. To bring this piece to your home is to bring the heritage and culture of generations of master craftsman. This work would not be possible without the knowledge gained and shared over centuries. No two pieces created are ever the same.
