About the Item
Antique Thai White Elephant Painting on Cloth, Rattanakosin School, 19th Century.
A painted scene of two white auspicious elephants in a landscape setting. In Thai Buddhist folklore, there is a story that Gautama, in a former life, was a white elephant and he dreamed that his mother met him in heaven in that shape. Siam is even referred to as the Land of the White Elephant. This scene is slightly irregularly cut from a larger work that might have portrayed the heaven that Gautama dreamed of. The painting is framed floating between two sheets of glass with a carved hardwood frame having rounded corners in the style of the mid-20th century.
