Right Facing Elephant
Sold by
Harsh Chhajed
Description
In this elegant Right-Facing Elephant, Harsh Chhajed explores symmetry and ceremonial grandeur. The artist’s attention to ornamental patterning on the elephant’s body reflects motifs traditionally seen in royal processions and temple art. The positioning of the elephant—facing right—is symbolic of auspicious beginnings and the forward march of fortune. Crafted from seafoam, the piece carries a visual weight that belies its light physical structure, blending regal aesthetics with organic simplicity.
Why This Artwork Stands Out:
- Represents auspicious energy and ceremonial dignity.
- Detailed craftsmanship mirrors Rajasthani ornamental traditions.
- Light and organic, yet visually rich and balanced.
- Combines minimal form with symbolic precision.
Perfect for spaces celebrating cultural heritage through minimalist sculpture.
