Leaning on a log, a flirty elephant boasts colorful floral attire. Nantana Sompamitre crafts a whimsical pencil holder. She carves rain tree wood into the desired shape and coats it with lacquer. Once dried it is polished, and another coat is applied – up to twenty times – before as many six coats of pure lacquer are present. The final layer is polished with powdered fired clay. The piece is painted by hand, and brass rings protect the openings.

Simply adorable. More petite than I expected, but so lovely on my table for spring time. The pretty painted flowers on the black background is so sweet. Would make a great gift.
