Details

This cheerful baby elephant lifts up its trunk in celebration and smiles endearingly. Nantana Sompamitre hand-carves the statuette from local mango wood and paints florid hearts on the tip of the trunk, the back and front. The statuette receives several coats of lacquer, which Sompamitre prepares from the Gluta usitata tree and ashes of burnt rice paddy husks. The tusks are made of plastic.

“Adorable!”

Simply adorable. More petite than I expected, but so lovely on my table for spring time. The pretty painted flowers on the black background is so sweet. Would make a great gift.
