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