EXP Handmade Lacquer Elephant Figurine Intricate Hand-etched Design (Thailand)

Use this northern Thai lacquer elephant figurine as a captivating accent piece in your favorite home or office space. The artisan has dressed this piece in traditional Thai elephant costume through an intricate, hand-etched design applied with natural pigments of vibrant red, green, pink, purple, blue, white and yellow. The toenails, trunk markings and eyelashes are also the result of detailed hand-etching and color application. The elephant comes complete with a pair of detachable faux tusks. The shiny black base for the design is produced by coating the piece with seven layers of lacquer followed by a two-month drying process, resulting in a rich luster. Northern Thai lacquerware is well known to interior designers worldwide, and is acclaimed for some of the globe's finest craftsmanship techniques. Lacquerware is created by applying the black resin of the "Lak" tree onto smoothly carved wood to give it a glossy finish. This one-of-a-kind accessory is made by talented artisans in the historical Golden Triangle region of northern Thailand, and will bring their time honored into any home or office space. Measures 4 inches wide x 4 inches high x 2 inches long. This creation has been entirely handmade by skilled Thai artisans using only the finest natural materials.

5great handmade elephant  Jan 12, 2009
By Keri A. Henry
This is a handmade elephant and it definitely shows because the workmanship is great. My daughter collects elephants and absolutely loves it. I love to buy handmade items because they are unique in their own way. The shipping for the product was very quick as well. Will buy from them again.
