ANTIQUE Carved wood Buddha + elephant temple wall sculpture BURMA Myanmar FINE

Description

This is a carved wood piece from Burma as pictured.    I don't know much about the item but know it came from Myanmar (Burma) 20-some years ago.      I assume it is old but don't have any information about date, place of origin or anything further beyond the fact it was purchased from an individual in rural Burma in the late 1990s or thereabouts.
The SIZE of the piece is approximately 7" by 9" inches high.    It is painted and generally in very good condition --- used, but not chipped, broken or otherwise damaged in any material way.       I don't know much about what it represents but my sense is some aspect of Buddhism -- whether the Buddha (I doubt) or others related to Buddhism, I don't know, but the picture shows what it is for someone more familiar than I am.    I also don't know the particular use or background but believe it may have been an insert in an interior wall of a structure, perhaps a temple or something like that.    In any event, it's attractive, interesting and not commonly available.
