A matched pair of white elephants with raised trunks, cast in premium marble dust and resin and finished by hand. The carved blanket, pink-tinted ears and curled trunks are picked out on every piece, so the pair reads as marble from across the room yet shrugs off the chipped corners that solid stone picks up in transit. At a glance In the box 2 elephant showpieces (a matched pair) Material Premium marble dust and resin (composite) Colour / finish White with hand-painted pink ear and trunk detailing Trunk Raised (trunk up) Product size Each approximately 2 inches high and 3 inches long Made in India Marble-dust resin is a composite: fine marble powder bound in resin, cast and then finished by hand. It gives the weight and look of marble with far better resistance to chipping, and it is not carved from a solid marble block, which is what keeps a piece this detailed affordable. Why a trunk-up elephant pair In Vastu Shastra and Feng Shui an elephant with its trunk raised is traditionally associated with good fortune, protection and success, and a pair is chosen to represent companionship and harmony. The usual placement is at the main entrance facing into the home, or on a pooja shelf, console or office desk. These are traditional symbolic associations rather than guaranteed outcomes. Our guide to elephant statues for good luck and Vastu placement covers trunk up versus trunk down, which direction to face them and the seven-elephant tradition. Placement & care Choose a study desk, car dashboard, office cabin shelf or a return-gift box. Measure the width for both pieces standing side by side or facing each other, and allow a little space around them. Dust with a soft dry cloth. Keep away from water, abrasive cleaners and prolonged direct sunlight; the hand-painted detailing is not meant to be scrubbed.
