Scholarly Indian elephants stand back to back, proudly supporting volumes of stone. Expertly hand carved by Gulam Rasool, these original bookends showcase the inherent beauty of natural soapstone in shades of green and grey.

I bought these as a Christmas gift for family members. I had a hard time not keeping them for myself, since I love elephant art objects. These are wonderful carvings.

Precious piece and worried about arriving safe and sound. Relieved packaging was so secure took me removal of several layers of wrapping to get to box! Superb crafting of many elephants (my favorite creature) and love round design and substantial weight and size. Only disappointment is not off-white or ecru color as shown online, but a much darker brown or grayish shade. Nevertheless, love his work. Wish Gulam could bring back dyed/colored soapstone that he used to craft years ago. I have one of his pieces of a soapstone multi-colored elephant small box which I truly treasure.

The detail and artistry in this vase is superb, The intricate carving is spectacular, yet the clean lines of the shape and the white color give an impression of understated elegance. I love it!
