This
well carved bridge is measured 14 inches in straight line, and 16 inches measured
from the outside curve. The ivory bridge is a brilliant study of six elephants;
symbol of prosperity and universal peace. From the largest leading elephant to
the baby last in line, the bulk and presence of these six elephants are acutely
captured. The ivory has an original aged light-cream patina and a smooth finishing.
It is unsigned, and is in excellent condition. Private Collection | |
