2dots Hand Carved Wooden Elephant Trunk Down Netting Work Sculpture Statue Figurine 2.5 Inch

الوصف

This is an all-natural hand-carved wooden sculpture/Statue/Figurine and not resin, plastic, faux stone or other synthetic material. The statue has been hand-carved by artisans of Rajasthan, India. The lucky elephant charm is a deliberate piece of cultural sentiments and is popular in America and Europe. The origins of the lucky elephant charm can be found in the Hindu religion of India. There, the god Ganesha, the elephant-headed son of Siva and Parvati, is worshipped as an opener of the way and luck-god. Ganesha has his own iconography in India, and his best-known symbol is the swastika, which was also popular as a luck-symbol in America. Elephant charms and lucky elephant figurines are still made and used, but their popularity is currently on the wane. One reason for this may be that the much-publicized endangered-species status of the elephant makes it seem anything but "lucky" in the modern world. American fascination with the lucky elephant-god of India and the white elephants of Thailand combined in the form of the ubiquitous lucky elephant knick-knack. In typical American fashion, it was decreed that only those elephant figurines with their trunks upraised were lucky. The Quality you can see! Great Gift for any occasions.
