Ceramic teapot, 'Buddha and the Jade Elephant'

There is a saying in Southeast Asia that when the mother of lord Buddha was close to giving birth to Buddha, she had a dream of a white elephant coming to her and offering her a flower called lotus. The lotus is considered to be a symbol of knowledge and cleanliness. When Buddha is described as having a ride on an elephant, then the belief is good health and luck will both come. Putu Oka Mahendra has shown this mythological story on the ceramic teapot made from a can-like stem of a palm tree in a mesmerizing manner. The sale price of this great Ceramic teapot, ‘Buddha and the Jade Elephant’ is $32.99.
