Distinctive, wonderfully charming, superbly executed!
There must be many secrets to successful Jali openwork wood carving, and Suresh and Devender Garg are clearly masters of all of them. Such talent, what skills! This is one of those pieces where you continually ask yourself, "How could they do this"? It's a total delight and I am excited to have it in my home.
Beautiful, delightfu!, and meaningful!
I ordered these in addition to the soapstone carved box. I have a thing for elephants. They are beautifully carved and hold a carving within a carving. There is another smaller elephant just visible within. For me, it symbolically represents each of our species carry the future within, along with the wisdom and the hope to endure and survive. Elephant figurines with their trunks curved down represent wisdom and the abiity to overcome obstacles. I would like to think they speak to the even deeper wisdom carried within.....Ancestral and what is even deeper within us that is available to us to draw upon.
