Delivery EstimateThis cheerful baby elephant lifts up its trunk in celebration and smiles endearingly. Nantana Sompamitre hand-carves the statuette from local mango wood and paints florid hearts on the tip of the trunk, the back and front. The statuette receives several coats of lacquer, which Sompamitre prepares from the Gluta usitata tree and ashes of burnt rice paddy husks. The tusks are made of plastic.

"Gorgeous blue box for earrings!"
I love my dark blue box that has very detailed artistic lines drawn all over it. I have placed my favorite earrings inside of it. I want to thank the artist who shared their talents to create this beautiful box.

"Almost great"
The eggshells were less uniformly placed than I had hoped. The blotchiness is off putting.
