Incense and holder, 'Elephant Parade'

Cheerful elephants parade through a forest of palm trees; they hold a revered place in Thai society and appear in many proverbs and sayings. The golden pachyderms adorn a mango wood incense holder. Hand-crafted by Vatcharee Sritrakul, the piece includes 15 opium-scented incense sticks and is presented in a saa (mulberry) paper box.
