This is an antique decorative elephant and mahout. An Indian, hand painted wooden figure, dating to the early Victorian period, mid-19th century.
A joyful, appealing elephant for lovers of all things cheerful
Displays a desirable aged patina, the obvious losses not detracting from the inherent charm
Hand painted wood blesses the mahout figure with a colorful visage
The shock of blue to the rider's coat a fine contrast to the lighter hues
Dainty, but ready to overcome this and brighten your home
Aged repaired breaks to both trunk , tail and rider, mahout missing an arm, part of base loss as per images
This is a super antique...
