Rajasthani Wood Elephant adorned with a Brass and Copper sheet, 20th Century

About the Item

This intricately carved wooden masterpiece stands as a symbol of both artistic excellence and cultural richness. The elephant, a revered creature in Indian tradition, is adorned with a resplendent covering of brass and copper sheets, showcasing the fusion of materials and craftsmanship. The wooden elephant is skillfully carved to capture the majestic form of this revered animal. Its large ears, curved tusks, and gracefully lifted trunk are rendered with meticulous attention to detail. The wooden surface serves as a canvas for the artisan's craftsmanship, providing a solid foundation for the ornate embellishments. The entire surface of the wooden elephant is covered with meticulously applied brass and copper sheets. These sheets are delicately engraved with intricate patterns, depicting traditional Rajasthani motifs, geometric designs, and perhaps scenes from mythology or daily life. The metal covering, in its golden and reddish hues, adds a luxurious and regal touch to the sculpture. The elephant's back is adorned with a flat howdah, a decorative carriage, also crafted from the same brass and copper sheets. The overall effect is one of opulence and grandeur, as if this majestic creature were part of a royal procession from a bygone era. This wooden elephant, with its brass and copper adornments, serves not only as a stunning work of art but also as a cultural artifact that reflects the rich artistic traditions of Rajasthan. It stands as a testament to the skilled hands and creative vision of the craftsmen of the 20th century, preserving and celebrating the heritage of the region.
