This item is an asymmetrical, hand-carved wooden wine bottle holder, most commonly produced as a traditional souvenir or decorative bar craft in Thailand.
How It Works
The Hand Base: The main cradle is shaped like an open hand (often referred to in design as a "bergamot style" or "hand of God" motif). The body of the wine bottle rests securely flat across the palm and extended fingers.
The Elephant Neck: Rising from the wrist area is a curved wooden arm capped with a hand-carved elephant head.
The Rattan Ring: A woven rope or rattan hoop hangs from the elephant's trunk or tusks. You slide the narrow neck of your wine bottle through this ring to lock it in place, providing stability and creating a unique, angled pouring display on a tabletop or home bar.
