Airavana, or Airavata, also known in Khmer as damrei sam poan ដំរីសាមព័ន្ធ, is the mount of the Hindu god Indra. This earthenware ceramic vessel adorned with elephant heads was created by Chae Dei Ith, “Sister Clay,” an artist working in Angkor Borei. To explore her creations, visit her Facebook page.
