拍品专文

The top of these two turban ornaments (Lots 89 and 90) extend to the left in the form of an abstract elephant. Elephants, the traditional mount of a king, have long been associated with royalty and the presence of this motif suggests that this jigha originally belonged to a royal family member or favored associate.
