Indian Tribal Elephant Figurine - 19th Century
This antique hand-carved wooden elephant from India is crafted from solid teak. The figure is richly detailed with geometric star and floral patterns and is likely from the Banswara region of South Rajasthan. The blue tikka on the forehead suggests this was used for daily puja. Originally this statue would have had wheels which can be seen from the two holes in the base.
Elephants hold deep cultural significance in Indian tradition, symbolising wisdom, strength, and good fortune, making this a meaningful piece as well as a decorative one.
The natural aged patina of the teak enhances its charm, with subtle variations in tone that reflect decades of history. Today, it stands as a striking sculptural accent, bringing an authentic touch of Indian craftsmanship into the home.
