Realistic Golden Teak Wood Elephant & Baby Somsak Meewan

Description: Incredibly Realistic Golden Teak Wood Elephant & BabyHand Carved High Quality Aged Natural Golden TeakwoodBy Master Carver Somsak Meewan I am truly honored to host this unique work of art. This is a unique opportunity for any art or elephant lover.... a chance to own an authentic Somsak Meewan masterpiece. This incredible work of art was carved out of a single piece of aged golden teak wood by Master Somsak Meewan. It is extremely accurate in scale and realistic in its form, patina and touch. The detail is impeccable... even down to the veins that appear in the elephant's ears. This piece has been part of Mr. Meewan's personal collection for many years and it was a tough decision for him to offer it up for sale. Mr. Somsak Meewan is considered one of the best (if not the best) living elephant wood carver in Thailand today. He is a fourth generation wood carver specializing in elephant carvings and hails from a long line of elephant mahouts (trainers). Thai culture revers elephants above all other creatures. In the past, elephants were used for such task as clearing forest and transportation. Until recently many Thai people still kept elephants, but nowadays most elephants in the region are kept in conservation centres. Often times herds of wooden elephants are placed in front of spirit houses (as seen in the photo above) to bring good luck to the spirits of dead relatives and transport them through the spirit world. Spirit Houses are very common throughout the region; families build them adjacent to their homes as dwellings for deceased relatives.
