Up for sale is this Fine Vintage Kondapalli Bommalu Carved Painted Elephant with oil paint decoration and gilt gold accents. This is a beautiful tradition that pays homage to the journey from Rajasthan (Northern India) to Andhra Pradesh (Southern India).
This is a quite large and beautiful piece made from a light soft wood called tellaponiki and the glue was made from tamarind seeds.
Great colors and a fine work of art that is protected / encased by thick plastic. Bottom has the history and information sheet.
It measures 4.6" inches long, 6.1" inches tall and 2" inches wide.
Would make a fantastic display piece, fine addition to a collection, or a unique gift for someone special.
