{"product_id":"festival-elephant-felted-wool-sculpture","title":"Festival Elephant Felted Wool Sculpture","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn elephant dressed for a procession. Over his back lies a two-layer blanket: a magenta ground run through with a yellow dashed stitch, and a cobalt panel over it scattered with eight-pointed stars in marigold, orange and teal, with small raised knots of crimson between them. A matching cobalt panel comes down over his brow and ends in a point between his eyes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a caparison, the ceremonial cloth an elephant wears for a festival, and the piece is a felted version of a tradition that runs through South Asian processions and the beaded hangings made alongside them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnderneath it he is all natural fleece, undyed and heathered through with lighter hairs. He is wet-felted dense enough to stand on his own four legs, with a ribbed trunk curling under, pale tusks and ears that stand away from his head.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout ten inches nose to tail, so he holds a shelf, a mantel or a windowsill without being swallowed by it. Made from New Zealand wool.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carding House Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51448309973159,"sku":"CHC-OBJ-F-004","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0773\/5535\/2231\/files\/IMG_2883.jpg?v=1790854408","url":"https:\/\/cardinghouse.co\/products\/festival-elephant-felted-wool-sculpture","provider":"Carding House Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
