A pair of porcelain elephants, Edo period, late 17th. Pair of model elephants with tusks, wearing harnesses. Many such models of animals, such as dogs, cats, deer, boars and horses were made as ornaments for European mantle- pieces. Real elephants would not have been seen in Japan at this time and these may have been inspired by pictures of Indian processional elephants. JA,1980.3-25.1-2
