🔍 PROVENANCE / MAKER NOTES
While unsigned, the sculpture’s form, casting technique, and silvered surface are consistent with Indian brassware traditions of the early 1900s, particularly those of major metal-working centers such as Moradabad and Jaipur. In Indian culture, elephants represent wisdom, strength, and prosperity—qualities reflected in the encircling family motif.
