Elephant..clay art..in my garden..................................................................................................................................Perhaps the most common form of pottery in India, terracotta pops up in almost every state. Votive figures of elephants, serpents, birds and horses are made in Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat and the Jhabua and Bastar regions of Madhya Pradesh. Quite similar to these are the horses of Darbhanga in Bihar which are painted in bright rainbow colors once they are made. Another place known for its magnificent, six-metre high terracotta horses is Tamil Nadu.http://www.indiasite.com/arts/terracotta.html

My sister would love that elephant in her garden. She collects them and doesn't have one for her garden yet. Nice.

A nice garden. It looks like hard clay, not soft black dirt. Here people put squirrels and frogs in their plants. No meaning, just something to look at.
