About the Item

Listing Description – 19th-Century Balinese White Elephant Allegorical Painting, Color on Cloth with Gilt An exquisite and richly symbolic 19th-century Balinese painting, rendered in vibrant pigments and delicate gilt highlights on cloth, beautifully framed in black with a natural matte finish. Though the artist remains unknown, the mastery of composition and spiritual nuance speaks to a deeply rooted artistic tradition of ceremonial storytelling and reverence for the divine. At the heart of the scene is a majestic white elephant, draped in elaborate gilded trappings, signifying purity, strength, and sacred power within Southeast Asian and Hindu-Buddhist cosmology. Atop its haunches kneels a smiling attendant, while its noble head is crowned by a benevolent ceremonial figure, shown issuing life-giving water toward a gathered crowd with open arms—an allegorical gesture of blessing, abundance, and spiritual transmission. The scene unfolds in a lush pastoral setting, with gently rolling terrain and mist-shrouded mountains in the distance, evoking the timeless beauty of the Balinese landscape and a sense of serene divinity. This painting is a rare and captivating cultural artifact, ideal for collectors of Asian art, spiritual symbolism, and antique textiles. Its radiant color, symbolic depth, and atmospheric presence make it a true standout in any refined setting. Offered by MWM DESIGN INTERIORS, purveyors of museum-quality decorative arts, fine furniture, and curated global antiquities for the most discerning clientele.
