A wonderful expression of artistic ability of the late Putra Suteja which reminds me of my home area: southeast asia. The essence of our region is captured in this piece for me.
This "friendly tai" elephant displays a strong magnificent presence as a leader and protector of his herd. Beautifully carved rich brown wood with a raised trunk as if searching for water. A very lovely addition to my collection.
This is a very delicate wood carving that is well done and very pretty. It isn't too heavy and is has a graceful look as the leaves and flowers have a swaying look.
