Small Vintage Handmade Carved Elephant Sculptures with Polychromy, Priced Each
Located in Yonkers, NY
Two small handmade carved elephant sculptures with discrete polychromy. Each of these two vintage handmade carved elephant sculptures showcases a peaceful, grounded presence, as the elephants rest on their knees with trunks lifted upwards. Their serene posture suggests they may be in a position to allow a rider on their back. With delicate carved motifs and subtle traces of polychromy, these small sculptures exude a charming, rustic quality. Originating from Thailand, they reflect the cultural significance of elephants, symbolizing strength, wisdom, and stability. Priced and sold individually, these sculptures can be displayed on their own or as a pair.

Each piece, slightly varied in its hand-carved details, carries its own unique character, making them perfect for collectors or those who appreciate the craftsmanship and symbolism of these beautiful animals. With their serene presence and rich cultural background, these Thai elephant...
