Depicting a majestic elephant in a standing pose with its trunk raised, it serves as both a functional incense burner and a striking sculptural accent for any room.

Key Features:

Symbolism: In Asian culture, an elephant with a raised trunk is a powerful symbol of good luck, strength, and longevity.

Design: The elephant features intricately detailed wrinkles, large floppy ears, and a beautifully adorned saddle blanket (caparison) featuring geometric and floral scrollwork.

Incense Function: The center of the elephant's back features a removable, domed lid with pierced (reticulated) scrollwork, allowing incense smoke to gently waft through. It is topped with a small, decorative finial.

Material & Patina: Made of heavy metal (copper alloy) with a dark antique finish. Weighing approximately 1735g (3.8 lbs), it has a substantial, high-quality feel. See less
