Elephants are the royal residents of forests and palaces of early India, where they rule with their wisdom and paramount strength. As a motif of royalty, prowess, and divinity, elephants have been the favorites of Indian artists, who depict them adorned with exquisite ornaments, in dynamic poses, to capture the potent aura of this gentle beast.

Crafted with lovely soft-hued wood, this wooden decorative elephant is an embodiment of luxurious regalia and unparalleled strength. In a lively and powerful pose that suggests running, the elephant is carved with marvelous details all over its body. With rows of bells on its back, a bell necklace around its neck, floral cuffs on its feet, and an ornate headgear on its mountainous head, the elephant appears to be a favorite of some elite, whose fortune it embodies.
