The noble elephant is an important figure in Buddhism. Many Buddhist stories refer to them as they are regarded as intelligent and powerful creatures. That has inspired Thai artisan Thanet to create this beautiful and intricate wood carving. This handmade carving depicts an elephant at the center of the Bodhi Tree, which is said to be the sacred tree that Buddha sat beneath when he reached enlightenment. The elephant stands tall with its trunk in the air and is wrapped with gold leaf to create a stylish touch. A truly unique piece of art that is sure to look amazing in your home.
