A rare and majestic statue of an elephant in ceremonial attire
Dimensions: height 40cm x length 50cm x width 30cm approximately. Weight: 10kg approx. Material: Suar wood from planted forests, tinted wax finish. Handcrafted creation imported in compliance with fair trade rules. Slight differences in colour and appearance are possible compared to the model photographed.
A true masterpiece of craftsmanship
This impressive wood carving of 50cm in length weighing around 10kg is the work of the best sculptor we know. He is a Balinese artist with whom we have been working since 2003 in mutual respect. Observe the sculpting details: the trunk, the ears, the elephant's legs, its ceremonial attire... Everything is chiseled with incredible finesse and precision. Carved from a single piece of a noble wood, suar, this majestic elephant has a natural texture and color, which gives it a striking beauty.
The statue took several days to complete. Its price remains affordable because salaries and the cost of living are much lower in Indonesia than in Europe. Our craftsman sets his selling prices himself, without any pressure from us. Our commissions allow him to make a dignified living from his work, and even to hire and train young sculptors, thus perpetuating this increasingly rare know-how .
The future centerpiece of your space
The elephant, a symbol of power and wisdom, is depicted here in ceremonial attire, as in India, when it parades in front of the inhabitants on the occasion of traditional or religious festivals. His noble posture and frank gaze captivate attention and inspire a sense of respect and admiration. The realism is such that the animal seems to be in motion, moving slowly but surely.
In India, but also in the Feng Shui tradition, an elephant depicted with the trunk pointing to the sky is considered an auspicious symbol for the home that houses it and the family that lives there. With this elephant sculpture as the centerpiece of your interior design, create a space in your home that exudes elegance and exoticism, while paying tribute to this mythical animal. This piece of exceptional quality is not afraid of the effects of fashion, nor of the passage of time. It will forever remain an object of wonder that you will be proud to own.
The elephant, a world-revered animal
The elephant has long been revered as an auspicious symbol in many cultures around the world, due to its peculiarities that make it an exceptional animal.
In the first place, his imposing stature and monumental strength awaken in his admirers a sense of protection and security. But that's not all: the elephant is also an intelligent living being, of great wisdom, and endowed with an astonishing memory. These characteristics make it a unique species within the animal kingdom, and have been admired by humans since the dawn of time.
His longevity and ability to remember the paths he has traveled over decades make him a symbol of perseverance and resilience. In Africa, it is often said that an elephant always reaches its goal in the end, one way or another. This is why, in many cultures around the globe, the elephant has earned a reputation as the bringer of good fortune and blessings.
In conclusion, we see that the elephant brings together so many special qualities that it has become a universal symbol of good omen, bringing protection, wisdom and prosperity to those who adopt it as an emblem.
