Gulam Rasool evokes Agra elegance with an oil warmer that resembles an ancient temples standing on elephantine pillars. Rasool carves the oil warmer by hand from soapstone, expertly preserving the stone's natural color as he details the pachyderms and the leafy openwork or jali.

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.
