Six lotus medallions are transformed into fascinating coasters by India's Gulam Rasool. The coasters are guarded by mighty elephants that raise their trunks in sign of greeting. Rasool carves each piece by hand from natural marble, preserving a millenary Indian tradition born in Agra.
You can find our marble coasters and holder 'Lotus Elephants' (set of 6) by Gulam Rasool in tableware categories such as Animal Themed Barware, Marble Barware and Coasters Barware. Enjoy exploring these sections for other Novica treasures.
