modern elephant

Inspired by the majestic elephants of Sulawesi, one of the world’s largest islands, artisan Griya Suarningsih creates a pair of modern dangle earrings that capture the eye. Expertly crafted from sterling silver in Bali, this unique design features a sleek combination finish, infusing your look with chic elegance and a whimsical touch.

Javanese artist Anton Papo uses pencil, ink and acrylic on canvas to create this captivating naif painting inspired by his obsession with elephants. “These majestic animals are destined to be captured in an artistic form,” he says. “There are many different types with distinctive anatomical characteristics, and each country and continent has its own unique species. Elephants have been, and will always be an inspiration in art.”

From Made Wirata, this sleek sculpture distills the essence of the elephant in a modern sculpture. With its trunk raised in a joyous trumpet, the forest creature struts proudly down forest paths.

This sterling silver bracelet demonstrates Nyoman Ariawan's talent for combining Balinese tradition with modern design. He crafts a Venetian box chain with robust hexagonal links. An elephant's head at each end reaches out a questing trunk to interlock with one another. This creates both the clasp and the decorative focus.

A masterfully crafted tribute to divine wisdom takes form in sterling silver, where Ganesha's sacred presence becomes your personal talisman. This adjustable men's pendant necklace captures the beloved elephant-headed Hindu deity in stunning detail, his role as guardian of arts, sciences and knowledge rendered through an exquisite combination finish that brings remarkable depth and texture to every curve. Designed by Bali's Made Mustika, the pendant moves with fluid grace along an elegant borobudur chain, creating a meaningful accessory that honors ancient tradition while speaking to modern spirituality.
