A Carved Wood Elephant Head
About the Item
Thailand was blessed with abundant supplies of Teak and other fine hardwoods, which are essential to fine woodcarving. Today some of the best woodcarving in the world is produced in Thailand, primarily in and around Chiang Mai. This elephant was hand-carved from Teak by the region’s master carvers.
For the Thais, the elephant represents good fortune, power and nobility and is often found in art. Large wooden elephants are typically placed near the entrance to a home, where they are seen as lucky talismans as well as beautiful decorations.
When presented as gifts, elephants with their trunks down indicate grace, humility, and respect from the giver.
