Description
Central or Southeast Asian, ca. 4th to 7th century CE. There are so many wonderful quotes about elephants. "Nature's great masterpiece, an elephant; the only harmless great thing." (John Donne) "They say an elephant never forgets. What they don't tell you is, you never forget an elephant." (Bill Murray) So true, and who would ever forget this elephant in the room? A miniature gold pendant depicting an elephant standing on all fours and raising his trunk as his large floppy ears fall back against his head and his tail swishes behind. A wonderful piece of wearable art, finely rendered in the round with wonderful modeling throughout and an integral suspension loop. Size: .625" L x .375" H (1.6 cm x 1 cm); Weight: 4.1 grams
