This exquisitely ornate statue depicts the true relationship of unspoken trust between an elephant and its riders. Two riders are riding the elephant and they are holding their kids in their hands. They are accompanied by another rider- 'Mahout', sitting in the front, who is driving the elephant.
The animal figurine has been handcrafted to perfection with symmetric tribal patterns, using the 'Dhokra' metal craft. This piece of art is a pure reflection of rural India and can be used to decorate your home or office, or as a gift to friends and family.

"Dhokra Art", a Tribal art form, is amongst the oldest traditional techniques of metal casting in India, practiced for over 4,000 years. The lost wax technique, cire perdue is the medium of metalworkers in the Indian states of Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Orissa and West Bengal. This craft dates back to pre-historic times of the Harrappa and Mohenjodaro Civilizations. Entirely handcrafted, the unique 13 stage process of Dhokra/ Bell metal making is an outcome of the original craft instinct handed down through the centuries. Dhokra/ Bell metal is an alloy of brass, nickel and zinc that gives an antique effect to the castings. This Ancient Art highlights the perfect union between Traditional and Modern Art!
