Hand-Carved Decorative Elephant Figurine
Wood with Bone Inlay and Brass Accents
Anglo-Indian Style, Vintage
This vintage elephant sculpture is a striking example of traditional decorative art, featuring the classic trunk-up pose symbolic of good fortune and prosperity. Hand-carved from a dense, dark wood, the piece is embellished with hand-fitted bone tile inlays that form a ceremonial saddle and headpiece. The ornamentation is completed with embossed brass medallions and decorative trim, reflecting the rich aesthetic of South Asian artisanal craftsmanship.
• Hand-carved solid wood construction with detailed anatomical features
• Decorative saddle and howdah elements featuring genuine bone tile inlays
• Embossed brass hardware and floral medallions throughout the body and trunk
• Measures approximately 7.5" long, 3.5" wide, and 6" tall
Condition: Good vintage condition overall. The wood housing is structurally sound with a deep, consistent finish. The bone inlays show natural age-related variations and some hairline cracks characteristic of the material. One inlay tile on the top howdah shows a visible separation/crack as highlighted in the detail photos. Brass accents retain a warm, aged patina. The figure stands stable on four feet equipped with protective pads.
