Elephant temple game

A #precious #piece #of #oriental #antique this evening: #bronze , 940 grams, #ancient #elephant #sculpture with wheels that served as a #templegame . We had another one sold immediately, it was a horse. This is an #Indianelephant : these #ancient #games in the guise of #ancientanimal #sculptures were used in the 1800s in temples in India during religious ceremonies to entertain children. A curious and highly sought-after #object, with refined workmanship.
