Buyer's premium:

A pair of decorative elephant figurines crafted from 800 silver. Each elephant is depicted with its trunk raised and features extensive, intricate chased or repoussé work on its body, resembling an ornate ceremonial blanket or howdah with a diamond grid pattern and dotted accents. The style suggests a South Asian or Indian decorative influence. No visible hallmarks, manufacturer’s marks, or inscriptions are discernible on the items themselves. The elephants appear hollow, as indicated by a visible hole in the underside of one.
