Embossed Elephant Chime by Global Crafts

The elephant chime is handcrafted from recycled iron, hand embossed, and painted with an antique copper finish and colourful accents. This chime works well as indoor art or an outdoor garden chime. Elephant trunks pointed upward is thought to dispense energy, luck and prosperity! Handmade by artisans at a family workshop in Behat, India, the metal working craft has been passed down from one generation to the next. The workshop was established in 1976 and employs the artisan family and well-trained artisans from the area.

Story behind the art: The workshop buys sheets of scrap metal from dealers who collect it door-to-door. But don't let that make you doubt the quality of their handicrafts; they ensure the scrap comes from acceptable material and transforms the trash into beautiful art. The artisans specialize in a particular type of finishing known as Rasai. This is when a layer of brass is added onto the wrought iron to give the products a rustic and crude appearance. Each piece is truly a unique work of art, lovingly crafted by hand.
