Three-Headed Pooram Elephant Stool with Nettipattam | Kerala Rosewood
CUL0638
This handcrafted three-headed Pooram elephant stool with Nettipattam is a premium Kerala rosewood sculpture that combines the auspicious power of the three-headed elephant with the ceremonial grandeur of the Nettipattam — the ornamental golden headgear worn by temple elephants during the Thrissur Pooram festival.
The Nettipattam: Kerala's Most Iconic Ceremonial Ornament
The Nettipattam is the elaborate golden caparison worn on the forehead of temple elephants during Kerala's grand festivals, most famously the Thrissur Pooram. Crafted from gold-plated copper with intricate filigree work, it is one of the most recognisable symbols of Kerala's temple culture and festive heritage. This stool captures that ceremonial grandeur in hand-carved rosewood — each Nettipattam detail carved with precision by skilled Kerala artisans.
