About MeThis carving depicts a large elephant with two male figures on its back holding a barrel of fruit, which resemble pineapples.

The elephant is an integral part of Indian culture appearing in many guises and colours. Its various legends are innumerable, but it is most commonly seen depicted in Hindu religion as the God Ganesha.
