Standing firmly with lowered trunks, this richly ornamented elephant pair has a grounded, stately character distinct from more celebratory raised-trunk forms. Detailed openwork coverings and ceremonial adornments frame an enduring Indian symbol of strength, wisdom and stability, creating a handsome pair for entrances and living spaces. ELEPHANTS - STRENGTH & STEADFASTNESS: The lowered trunks and solid stance give this pair a composed, grounded character, reflecting qualities long associated with the elephant - strength, wisdom, stability and dignity. A TRADITION OF ORNAMENTED ELEPHANTS: Elaborate openwork coverings, decorative head ornaments and detailed anklets recall the magnificently adorned elephants that have appeared across Indian courtly, ceremonial and artistic traditions. GROUNDED & STATELY: Unlike the upward movement of a raised trunk, the lowered trunks emphasise the elephants’ substantial form and calm bearing. Display the pair together at an entrance, on a console or within a collection of Indian decorative objects. SACRED GUARDIANS COLLECTION: Part of Hasta Kutir’s Sacred Guardians series - a collection of symbolic forms associated with protection, auspiciousness and the wellbeing of the home, inspired by motifs that have endured across India’s cultural traditions. A SYMBOLIC GIFT FOR THE HOME: With their associations of strength, wisdom and stability, these elephants make a considered gift for a new home, wedding, anniversary or milestone - particularly when the sentiment is one of enduring foundations and lasting bonds.
