Large solid wood carving of an Indian elephant with brass applications. - Wood - India - 20th century

We present you this magnificent handcrafted carving of a Hindu elephant with wonderful decorations, embossed brass in polychromed solid wood in blue color. Elephants usually represent good fortune. The motif is lost in time, but any image of an elephant can be used to signify the arrival of good things in a person's life. In addition, gifting someone an elephant object can be a way of wishing them good luck. However, for good luck to come, you must select elephant objects that depict the elephant with the trunk facing up. Elephants are associated with abundance, which relates to good fortune in general. Elephants symbolize family and friendship through close bonds. Most elephants live and travel in small or large herds. They establish deep relationships with each other, just as humans do. Curiosity: It is important that the elephant's trunk is upward facing and facing inward to attract money and abundance. Measures: Height: 25 cm Base: 20 cm Weight: 1,400 kg
