Maasai Trunk Ritual – 'Enkátá Oltau' (Gathering Ground) – Elephant Tray Ensemble.
Contain connection. Weave guardianship. Ground ancestral nurture. This sculptural ensemble draws from the Maasai concept of Oltau—gathering ground, where animals become symbols and vessels become ritual. It’s a layered offering of tactile grace, visual rhythm, and ceremonial storytelling.
Crafted in mixed media with stylized elephant forms, the tray features a nurturing scene: two flat elephants in trunk-touching dialogue and a sculpted elephant engaging with a carved wooden bowl. The composition evokes familial care, terrain mastery, and spiritual breath.
