[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4513965, member: 2844"]Gorgeous! I would have picked it up in a heartbeat. It is from East Java, made in the style of Majapahit bronze (war) elephants and attendants. It is a copy of a vessel for holy water (Hindu). The Majapahit period, 1293-ca 1500, was the heyday of East Javanese culture. Yours was probably made in Gresik in the 20th century. Ah yes, the little known Peruvian elephant.:joyful:[/QUOTE]
