Left Facing Elephant
Sold by
Harsh Chhajed
Description
This piece by Harsh Chhajed presents a left-facing elephant crafted entirely from delicate seafoam, symbolizing prosperity, wisdom, and endurance. The artist’s refined detailing on the saddle and ornamental decorations mirrors the royal elephants of Rajasthan, connecting this work to the region’s regal heritage. The soft matte ivory texture of the seafoam against the black backdrop creates a striking balance of grace and power. Harsh’s mastery is evident in how he achieves volume and rhythm within such a fragile medium, turning an ephemeral substance into a lasting icon of dignity and calm strength.
Why This Artwork Stands Out:
- Exquisite relief detailing reminiscent of Rajasthani royal processions.
- Crafted from organic seafoam with remarkable precision.
- Represents stability and auspicious energy in Indian tradition.
- A balance of sculptural depth and minimalist composition.
Ideal for collectors drawn to traditional Indian symbolism expressed through modern, sustainable craft materials.
