The elephant is a fundamental figure in India. Revered, it is at the heart of many myths and legends where it embodies both power and serenity. It is an integral part of cultural heritage. This stool made of carved teakwood represents an elephant walking at amble and harnessed with a howdah. Placed on the back of the animal, the howdah was used to transport wealthy people to hunting or war. Beyond these practical reasons, the howdah symbolizes the wealth of its owner who, most often, generously decorates this seat with precious stones. Today, it is still possible to see them during the wedding processions that are known to be luxurious and lavish in India.

The elephant thus adorned with these beautiful ornaments is paraded during important events. Retour De Voyage has selected this magnificent stool, specially for you.
