See it on a wall
A tea kettle painted on both sides with a richly caparisoned ceremonial elephant in foliage on a mustard ground, decorative bands wrapping lid and base.
Why this work
Part of the Rajasthani painted-utensil tradition, where a workaday metal object is treated as a canvas. The caparisoned elephant is an emblem of welcome and good fortune — turning an everyday kettle into something ceremonial.
