Gajah Mina

Gajah Mina: A hybrid creature drawing from local legends—part elephant, part aquatic being—seen in tattoos and sculptures across Bali.

Mina means an elephant-fish mythical creature.

These statues are carved from limestone and feature gold-painted accents, positioned as decorative guardians or road markers.

I saw it walking along the beach in Seminyak, Bali, Indonesia.
