The carved ivory elephant, with cat's eye chrysoberyl eyes and ivory tusks with gold detail and caps, wearing a gold ropework chain with a gold bell, ornately decorated with a vari-cut multi-coloured sapphire, ruby, emerald, star sapphire, star ruby and cat's eye chrysoberyl headdress and saddle cloth, extending gold tassels, topped by a sculpted gold howdah and umbrella, with multi-gem accents, the feet decorated with gold ropework bands and multi-coloured gem anklets, with gold toenails, circa 1900, 21,5 by 23 by 11,5cm, in a purple velvet fitted case, accompanied by original papersFor centuries India has regarded the magnificent gentle beast, namely the elephant, as one of the most significant cultural symbols. While their representations and importance differs between certain cultures and religions, the elephant is most often associated with divinity and royalty, as well as good luck and fortune. Historically, elephants were covered with elaborate headdresses, gold tusk caps, silk saddle cloths, jewelled anklets on their feet and a gem-set and silk-cushioned howdah for the master to sit on as they carried Emperors, Maharajahs and members of Princely India through important processions. While elephants are seen as ancient figures of royalty, the creatures are equally important in contemporary Indian culture. Elephants still take centre stage at some of the biggest festivals, adorned with jewels and elaborate decoration. This piece, carved from a single piece of ivory, is a wonderfully fitting tribute to the importance of the elephant, past and present.-c.f. Christie’s, Jewels: The New York Sale, 22 April 2009 [O].
