Silver Elephant on Golden Lotus Thai Signed Painting, "Faith of Lanna III"

Standing on a golden lotus throne, a silvery elephant is adorned with more blossoming lotuses while the night sky is filled with colorful shooting stars. "In the days of ancient Lanna, people regarded the elephant and lotus as symbols of goodness so they respected them, and had faith in them," explains the Thai artist. Appearing in gold and silver foil, the pachyderm and lovely blooms are speckled with acrylic colors as Det paints on saa (mulberry) paper.
