A Monumental Pair of Carved Marble Elephants
About the Item
This is an exquisitely carved pair of Indian marble elephants. Standing foursquare, these magnificent creatures embody elegance and power. Sculpted from fine white marble, their intricate details and lifelike features captivate the beholder's gaze. Adorned in caparisoned regalia, their backs are covered in blankets and a top carpet with a dramatic center medallion. A bell hangs from an ornate cord around the creature's neck. From their carved tusks to their gentle, expressive eyes, every inch of these magnificent beasts exudes an aura of grandeur and opulence. These works of art serve as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of India. Whether as regal décor for a stately home or as a centerpiece in an outdoor setting, these caparisoned marble elephants command attention. For even more impact they can be raised higher on custom concrete or stone plinths
