Description:

Here we have a Majestic pair of Elephants, carved from richly grained rosewood, these elephant sculptures reflect a time when craftsmanship was slow, intentional, and deeply symbolic. Every curve and posture carries the quiet confidence of skilled hands and traditional knowledge passed down through generations.

Elephants have long been symbols of prosperity, strength, wisdom, and protection in Indian culture. During the colonial period, sculptures made from rare and special woods were commonly found in the homes of well-established families, not as mere décor, but as markers of status, belief, and cultural continuity.

What makes this pair especially rare is the presence of original ivory tusks, consistent with the period in which they were created a reminder of historical practices that reflect a very different time. Today, the presence of ivory in heritage pieces serves as a reminder of how artistic traditions and cultural beliefs once intertwined. This sculpture respects that history while acknowledging the shift in our modern understanding of conservation and wildlife protection..

Rosewood was deliberately chosen for such sculptures because they are dense, durable, and known to age beautifully. Objects like these were believed to anchor prosperity and stability within the household.

Preserved as historical works, these elephant sculptures are not just objects of beauty, but silent witnesses to changing values, materials, and traditions. A rare and significant addition to the Purathanam collection.
