Vintage hand-carved Thai Elephant Fish sculpture, also known as an Elephant-Makara, mounted on a display stand. Elephant-Makara figures are rooted in Southeast Asian Hindu-Buddhist symbolism, representing strength, protection, and the union of land and water. Pieces like this were commonly made for decorative and spiritual display rather than mass production. Style: Elephant Fish / Elephant-Makara. Approx 18 inches tall. Approx 18 inches long. One tusk is broken (clearly shown in photos). Surface wear consistent with age and hand-carved wooden objects. No other major damage noted. Please review all photos carefully for condition, as they are part of the description. This is a dramatic statement piece ideal for Asian art collectors, folk art displays, bohemian or global decor, or anyone drawn to unique hand-carved sculptures with history and character.
