How it is made
The body is made of wood and finished in papier-mâché, then painted freehand by a Kashmiri naqash with fine brushes and sealed with coats of lacquer. The wooden core makes the piece sturdy enough for everyday use. Because every piece is painted by hand, colours and details vary a little from the photos.
Uses and gifting
Place it on a bookshelf, desk, side table or mantel, or group it with our other elephants. Elephants are a traditional symbol of good luck, so it makes a warm gift for a housewarming, a new office, a birthday or Diwali.
Care
Dust with a soft, dry cloth. Keep away from water, direct heat and long hours of strong sunlight, and do not use cleaning sprays or polish.
