Such carvings are associated with Asian countries like Thailand or India.

In various cultures, elephant figures are considered symbols of good luck, prosperity, wisdom, and strength. A trunk raised upwards is typically believed to attract good luck and success, while a trunk pointed downwards represents grounding energy.

The elephants are carved from rosewood, with a two-tone finish that highlights the details of the skin and body. The carvings are detailed, showing the texture of the skin, the shape of the ears, and the tusks.

Each stunning elephant is mounted on a black metal rod that is attached to a darker, rectangular wooden base, creating a sleek design.

Excellent antique condition with minor signs of authentic patina. See less
