The elephant symbolises wisdom, luck, strength and memory in many cultures - particularly in Asia and Africa. This Suar Wood Elephant Figurine in dark wood tone finish, measuring 15 centimetres, is made from suar wood, from Indonesia. The carved elephant figure is a natural, warm-toned figurine that can adorn any living space.
Suar Wood - Warm, Natural Material
Suar wood (also known as rain tree) is native to Indonesia, a warm, medium-brown toned wood whose characteristic, darker grain patterns lend it a distinctive appearance. Suar wood is hard, durable and beautiful, developing a fine patina over time. Wood carvings made in Indonesia are generally produced with careful craftsmanship and following local wood-working traditions.
The Symbolism of the Elephant
The elephant is one of the most beloved symbolic animals: in Hinduism it is the symbol of the god Ganesha, the embodiment of wisdom and the remover of obstacles. Elephant figurines are traditionally placed beside the entrance, on a desk or on a shelf. A living space where an elephant figurine stands generally gains a warm and characterful atmosphere from it.
How to Place It in Your Home
The 15 centimetre elephant figurine is suitable for a shelf, bedside table, desk or any decorative surface. The natural tone of the suar wood harmonises well with natural material accessories, plants and boho-rustic style decorations. It is effective both alone and in a group.
