A majestic large carved Coromandel Ebony Elephant

With bone tusks toenails and eyes.

Early 20th century

H:25.5cm

This wonderful carving  is most likely to have been made in what was once a British colony called Ceylon or what we know of today as Sri Lanka, which has a long history of wood carving.

In the late 1900s when Sri Lanka was still under British rule there were companies who employed carvers in factories where they would mass produce, by hand, carved wooden souvenirs which would then be exported across Asia and to Africa.
