This beautifully carved jar is a wonderful addition to any decor. Looks great resting on top of a shelf or dresser. It is very functional in that it can be used to store jewelry or other small items or could be used as a potpourri jar.

My sister loves elephants and love this stunning piece.

Precious piece and worried about arriving safe and sound. Relieved packaging was so secure took me removal of several layers of wrapping to get to box! Superb crafting of many elephants (my favorite creature) and love round design and substantial weight and size. Only disappointment is not off-white or ecru color as shown online, but a much darker brown or grayish shade. Nevertheless, love his work. Wish Gulam could bring back dyed/colored soapstone that he used to craft years ago. I have one of his pieces of a soapstone multi-colored elephant small box which I truly treasure.
You can find our soapstone jar 'Jasmine Rose' by Gulam Rasool in decor accessories categories such as Leaf and Tree Jars and Bottles, Jali Jars and Bottles, Shabby Chic Jars and Bottles, East meets West Jars and Bottles and Soapstone Jars and Bottles. Enjoy exploring these sections for other Novica treasures.
