Description
Elephant name: Satao
Artist: Sir Richard Branson
Parade: Hong Kong 2014
Satao, designed by Sir Richard Branson in Hong Kong 2014, is a powerful statement against the ivory trade. At first glance, the patterns covering the elephant may appear abstract, but they symbolize the many items once commonly made from ivory before plastics replaced them — from piano keys and pool balls to cutlery handles, dominoes, and even guitar bridges. By transforming these shapes into hand-painted art, the statue highlights the unnecessary demand that has endangered elephants for centuries.
This collectible elephant design is more than decoration: it’s a call for awareness and change. Hand-painted in Chiang Mai, available in different sizes, shipped worldwide, and part of Elephant Parade’s mission, Satao is both a meaningful tribute to elephants and a unique piece of elephant art that supports conservation.
Note: Each piece is hand-painted in Chiang Mai, Thailand, and may vary slightly in appearance.
