This hand-carved and hand-painted wall relief was made in Thailand during the 1960s. Crafted from a solid piece of wood, it features an elephant striding among stylized leaves and flowers. The elephant’s body appears in muted, weathered gray with chalky highlights, contrasted by a lush palette of greens—ranging from deep and olive to lighter hues—alongside beige and ochre tones that shape the background and botanical elements. The work boasts pronounced three-dimensional carving, with interplay of shadows and distinctive surface texture. The outer frame imitates bamboo, painted in dark green with subtle golden accents, referencing classic Asian design motifs. The surfaces reveal intentional wear, visible brushstrokes, and a carefully aged finish; in places, the natural wood grain emerges beneath the paint. The piece is free from major cracks and displays only moderate, genuine signs of age—such as local paint loss and vintage patina. A small metal loop on the back facilitates wall mounting. Condition: very good, with points of worn paint and age-appropriate patina consistent with authentic vintage wall art. This relief carries the voice of Southeast Asian ateliers: its wood expresses the story of mindful craft, where every carved detail and brushstroke is guided by studied hands. The elephant motif not only evokes a symbol of auspiciousness, but also the serene, everyday rhythm of Thai homes from decades past. Matte surfaces and uneven coloration
