AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The elephant and the incense burner are both powerful symbols in Asian devotional art, and they are regularly combined:
Elephant as a symbol
Represents wisdom, strength, happiness, and royal dignity
In Buddhism associated with the Buddha himself (his mother dreamt of a white elephant before his birth)
In Feng Shui: protection, stability and luck — with the trunk raised = luck is being brought in.
The incense burner is in good used condition with signs of aging. (See photos)
Very finely detailed.
Carefully packed and insured for shipment.
This object can be shipped together with other items of mine in this auction so you only pay shipping costs once.
