About this item: From Suresh and Devender Garg, this striking kadam wood sculpture captures the elephant's inherent majesty. Its lordly stride, intelligent expression, strength and power radiate from the hand-carved piece. - Wood grain and color can vary slightly About our Artist: India artisans Suresh and Devender Garg are woodcarvers who also work in marble. Unfortunately Suresh passed away in 2011 and Devender preserves his memory through their art. 'We started this venture dating back almost four decades ago.' Suresh told us, 'I started with ivory and switched to sandalwood. The art of making sandalwood boxes is extremely intricate and detail oriented, thus requiring skilled workmanship. I am the guiding factor for my craftsmen, who create exquisite boxes based on my designs. The intricate carving is done with an iron needle.'
