King's Procession on Birch Jewelry Box

The elephant is so majestic that it has been considered as a vehicle for kings.Along the historical path arrived  kings - of both Hindu and Mughal origin who would embrace the elephant as their chosen carriage. On occasions when they set out as monarchs to survey their kingdoms, they would actually set aside their horses and mount atop the backs of their elephants, which would seem spacious enough to accommodate even an elaborately decorated throne. The elephant would be the inevitable choice because its height but also its gait, which was slow and regal. Further, it afforded the king’s subjects to get a clear view of the ruler astride his elephant.

When I paint elephants I normally wants to emboss them with rich designs. Elephant paintings are not rare but painting on a Birch wood is something new to me which I have never tried.

To throw some light on Birch wood It belongs to Oak/beech family.  This tree is sometimes called "The Watchful Tree" because of eye-like impressions on the bark . This is one of the reasons I wanted to engrave this King on a elephant design on this wood. 

Garlands have their own religious significance and Kings of India had never let any one to sell garlands which were made for god. The borders of this Birch box are adorned  with garlands.

King on the Elephant and Garlands around the Birch are painted with brown golden acrylic colors.

Some of the saliant features of this box are the birch veneer is shaped into elegant nesting box set and  it features a wood button and elastic closure.
