Antique 19th Century Indian Brass Elephant Dhokra Lost Wax Temple Toy

Description

Origins: Acquired from a UK toy fair collection. This style of elephant is traditionally associated with Indian "temple toy" folk art.

Design: The elephant features a sturdy, hollow-cast body with intricate details and a platform on the back, likely intended for a rider (Mahout) or to hold a lamp/goddess figure (such as Lakshmi).

Construction: Heavy, high-quality brass construction (1.1kg). Hand-finished in a rustic, artisanal style.

The design suggests it may have originally been part of a pull-toy set, with historical attachment points near the ears for reins and mounted on wheels
