Historically, these magnificent creatures were draped in heavily embroidered textiles and precious metals to lead temple processions and royal corteges. This piece departs from heavy, realistic depictions, instead serving as a prime example of contemporary Indian brass décor that draws upon modernist interpretations of traditional motifs. The craftsman uses exaggerated proportions and negative space to capture the regal essence of the animal without its typical visual weight.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eStyling Notes \u0026amp; Home Placement\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eDisplay this abstracted metal elephant on an open bookshelf or a minimalist entryway console where its delicate silhouette will not be visually crowded.\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe high-contrast dark and gold finish pairs exceptionally well against a lighter backdrop or next to curated art books.\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eStanding at 8.0 inches tall, the sculpture is roughly the height of a standard hardcover book, allowing it to make a statement without dominating the surface.
