Handcrafted of natural soapstone, an delightful egg is diligently elaborated with elegant openwork after traditional jali art and architecture. Indian artisan Gulam Rasool designs this amazing sculpture, working from the artisanal city of Agra.

The picture and description donāt do the sculpture justice - within the egg, there is a small elephant, which itself is also executed in intricate jali style. I bought this as a present, and the recipients were amazed by the level of detail and the great craftsmanship that went into the creation of this beautiful carving.

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.
