This lovely abstract wood elephant is created in Thailand by Jaifah Aksornsri using techniques passed down to her through generations of family. The wonderful statuette is handcrafted from native raintree wood and finished naturally, which accentuates its unique, charming appeal. In Thai culture the noble elephant is a sacred symbol and represents good luck.

This little elephant is so cute and so well made! She immediately joined by other elephants and now belongs to a family, as elephants do. I?m very happy with the new member of my elephant collection.

I purchased this to go with my collection of Jaifah Aksornsris work. I really enjoy looking at my collection.

When I saw this, I just had to purchase it to go along with my tea light holders and the large candle holder. I admire Jaifah Aksornsri artistic ability.

Empowering Women
The Women's Empowerment badge is awarded to female artisans or artisan groups that are led by women.
Preserving Traditions
Growing up, Jaifah was surrounded with Thai antiques and artisan designs that her parents collected and made. From her mother and other artisans, she learned the traditional techniques that she uses to produce the high-quality wood and metal designs her workshop is known for. She has taught these techniques to many of the artisans that work with her. She hopes that someday her children will want to continue this work but, so far, they have shown little interest in pursuing it.
Enabling Education
Jaifah and her husband are actively involved in their children's education. They encourage not only their studies but all of the extracurricular activities that interest them.
Caring for Children
Jaifah provides for her children the same sort of loving family environment that she grew up in.
Job Creator
Jaifah is able to provide jobs for other artisans in her workshop.
