Wow, were we excited to find this: one-of-a kind hand carved, hand lacquered red and gilt embellished temple wooden white elephant bench that originally came from a temple near Kobe. One pair of benches were found: this white elephant and a matching shi-shi komainu red painted temple lion which is offered in a separate listing.
We date this treasure to the later Taisho era, about 1925
What an honor they are to sit upon. If only this gentle beast could talk and relate it’s history and experiences. The silky smooth lacquered finish and superb Japanese craftsmanship is a rare pleasure.
Fine condition with minor lacquer losses.
Dimensions: 20 inches high and 33.5 inches long and 22 inches deep
