Item Details

Description

Pressed brass or copper
South Asian, late 19th-early 20th century
Dimension of each disc: 1 ¾ in. sq. (4.4 cm)

This elephant’s ceremonial brass or copper chain link body decoration features a number of reticulated pressed metal discs depicting an elephant within a flower blossom. Bordering the discs are fan-shaped charms with tiny bells. The entire covering has been separated into six different pieces.

The metal shows signs of tarnish and oxidation and some discs and charms may be missing. In addition, sections of discs have become separated. The entire covering has been separated into six pieces and reassembly has not been attempted. Note: this item is quite heavy. The dimension of each disc is 1 ¾ in. square.
