One of those pieces you notice twice, first the elephant itself, and then the tiny elephant hidden inside. 🐘 This coordinated family includes one large and three smaller hand-carved Indian elephants, all featuring detailed openwork or jali-style carving.
The largest elephant has especially elaborate carving throughout its body, with the open latticework revealing a smaller elephant carved inside. This carving technique is commonly associated with Indian soapstone elephant sculptures, where the inner figure is carved through the openings of the outer elephant. Comparable examples are specifically described as Indian soapstone jali carvings.
Included:
* 1 large carved elephant
* 3 smaller coordinating carved elephants
* 4 outer elephant figurines total
* Hidden elephant carving inside the large elephant
* Openwork jali-style detailing
* Natural tan, brown, cream and green stone coloration
* “Made In India” labels visible
The variations in coloration and carved details give each elephant its own character while still creating a cohesive family display. These would work beautifully in an elephant collection, globally inspired décor arrangement, bookshelf display, or as a distinctive gift.
