Vintage 1990s Small South Indian Tanjore Painting of Adorned Elephant

Small framed 5.5" x 5.5" Tanjore painting of an elephant decorated in jewelry and a colorful tapestry including sparkling silver details, a hallmark of this art form that is thousands of years old, and is on a red background with a thin black plastic frame with an easel stand that is also hanging hardware. Made in India and brought to the US in the late 1990s. Elephants symbolizes strength, wisdom, and auspiciousness and these pieces of art are often housewarming or wedding gifts.
