Peach & Cream Elephant Pair – 8 Inch, Marble-dust Resin

A matched pair of peach and cream elephants, made to stand facing each other. Both elephants are cast from resin blended with marble powder, then hand-painted and hand-polished. The blanket carries a fine textured pattern in terracotta and gold. The headpiece, eyes, tusks and anklets are painted by hand, so no two pairs are exactly alike. A clear lacquer coat over the top helps hold the colour and the soft shine. Each elephant is 10 inches long, 4 inches wide and 8 inches high, and weighs 1.75 kg. Together the pair weighs 3.5 kg. That weight comes from a solid cast body, and it is what gives each piece a steady, planted feel on a shelf or a table. Both pieces are the same size and the same finish, mirrored so they face one another. Set them on an entrance table, a living room console, a TV unit, a hotel lobby counter or an office reception desk. In Indian tradition, a pair of elephants with raised trunks is believed to welcome prosperity and good fortune into a home. It makes the set a natural choice for griha pravesh and housewarming, Diwali, weddings, anniversaries and corporate gifting. Care: wipe gently with a soft dry or damp cloth. Do not soak, and avoid harsh cleaners. In the box: 2 elephant showpieces. Colour: Peach and Cream. Material: Resin with marble powder. Country of origin: India.
