Description :

This appears to be a hand-carved elephant and turtle figurines made from soapstone (steatite). Soapstone is a soft, smooth, and easily carveable metamorphic rock commonly used for intricate sculptures, particularly in India. The delicate openwork lattice design (also known as "jali" work) is a hallmark of traditional Indian craftsmanship. Note a baby turtle within the turtle.

Turtle - 3.75"W x 1.75"T

Elephant - 3.5"W x 3"T
