Mist swirls around a lotus pond where an elephant takes shape in 23k gold. The night sky is ablaze with comets and twinkling stars, lending a sense of mystery to this beautiful painting. Northern Thai legend tells how Buddha was once born as an elephant, and the lotus – a symbol of purity and wholeness – is the master's favorite offering, Det explains. The elephant also represents power, tolerance and wisdom. I am so impressed by the creature's goodness that I wanted to share these feelings.
