Parinya Nanjai paints an elegant portrait of the royal symbol. The first record of a white elephant captured in Thailand was in 1471, and King Borommatrailokkanant took the title "Lord of the White Elephant." In the 1500s, King Mahachakkaphat had seven white elephants in his herd. By the 17th century, elephant hunting was the sport of kings. White elephants graced the Siamese national flags of 1816 and 1917 before Siam was re-named Thailand. The painting is framed in bamboo. Arrives framed|Signed by the artistAbout our Artist: Thai artisan Parinya Nanjai says about his art: 'We can essentially learn about art on our own, through everything that surrounds us nature, culture, everything. A few years of art in the technical school taught me to love painting and I know this to be my vocation. I prefer the northern Thai style because I was born here; it's always in my way of thinking and in my heart. I paint from my own thoughts, and the Lanna style is always on my mind.'
