Gond Tribal Painting of Elephants 13" x 10.5"
Item #3p3
This Gond tribal painting is one of a kind, hand painted by Dilip Shyam, the Gond artist of Madhya Pradesh, India.
The Elephant is a status symbol and this Gond painting does it justice. Elephants are highly regarded everywhere but more especially so in India and among the Gonds. This painting represents two elephants, one bigger than the other. This could mean an elder-younger relationship or a husband-wife relationship. The implied wealth of the figures is, however, more important than their exact identities.
Elephants symbolizes wealth, power, wisdom, gentleness and authority. This painting describes all these with its lively color and its texture. Add to these, the peacock wings drawn on the elephants and the attribute of pride in one's beauty is also represented. Gonds are found of including the imagery of birds into the paintings of other animals.

"Hello Tim
Sorry for the slight delay but I just wanted to say how delighted Nicola was with the mask and the picture. They were both in remarkably good condition given the amount of journeying they'd done and that space age packaging of yours is excellent.
Best regards and thanks
again"
