A beautiful Indian elephant on wheels in gilt bronze, dating to the late 19th / early 20th century CE.
The Elephant, one of the most stunning animals of the Indian forest, has been transformed here into a toy with wheels on its four legs, probably for a noble baby . India has a long history of toy elephants, horses and carts on wheels, some of which are preserved and exhibited today in museums around the world.
