This rare carved ivory elephant was decorated with 428 precious stones set in gold trappings and dates to the late 18th century. It originated in India and is believed to be a gift to a raja. The piece was donated to the Museum in 1964 from a couple in Chicago who found it a beautiful piece of art. It is currently on exhibit in the Museum's India area.
