Two delicately hand painted elephants kiss and smile at one another on this funky blue bangle. The base is a mixed metal alloy, and the painted layer is glossed over for protection. Small enough to be a statement piece without drawing too much attention. A perfect gift for best friends, lovers, sisters, mothers and daughters, or any other woman in an intimate and happy relationship. This piece is my original design and cannot be found elsewhere.

- Handmade
- Inner circle measures 60mm across

As a religious symbol in Asia, the elephant represents royalty, power, wisdom, fertility, longevity and more. In both Hinduism and Buddhism, man and the elephant make their first appearance in the cosmos together and in both elephants are associated with water and rainfall, the primordial givers of life to dust. Their shape, size, and color are symbolic of clouds and rain. In most art forms, the elephant is the object of worship or it appears with a god who is worshiped. In countries such as Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand, elephants were believed responsible for watering the fields. Lord Indra, The Rain and Storm God, is sometimes depicted riding on an elephant with a lightning bolt on his forehead. The main use of the elephant in eastern religious art is in the representation of Ganesha, the great Hindu Elephant God. As a Hindu religious symbol, and cultural symbol in Asia, the elephant is highly favored.
