Thoughtful Elephant Lacquered Wood Pencil Holder

Nantana Sompamitre

(122)

Leaning on a log, a whimsical elephant contemplates his role in Thailand's timber industry. Nantana Sompamitre crafts a charming pencil holder in gilded black lacquer. She carves rain tree wood into the desired shape and coats it with lacquer. Once dried it is polished, and another coat is applied – up to twenty times – before as many six coats of pure lacquer are present. The final layer is polished with powdered fired clay. The piece is gilded with a technique called lai rot nam. Sompamitre engraves the motif free-hand with a sharp tool, and the piece is dusted with a wooden powder. Then the background is covered with a gummy paint, and dusted again. A thin coat of lacquer is applied to the entire surface and, before it dries, gold leaves are placed over it and firmly pressed into place. Brass rings protect the openings.

Wood phone holder, 'Gentle Assistant'

Cute, practical and sturdy

It's an elephant... Holding my phone! It has passed the cat test and won. It did not fall off. Which means it's exceeded it's expectations. Very cute. Very practical. And it does exactly what I need it to do. The bonus for me, NOVICA was able to entice an artist to make it. And I have something that none of my friends have... Yet. They'll want one, as soon as they see this Gentle Assistant hold my phone.
