An unusual metal vessel crafted in the form of an elephant, featuring a long projecting trunk that serves as a spout, a raised loop handle at the rear, and an open filling aperture along its back. The body is decorated with incised geometric and floral motifs, while the surface displays a rich, aged patina with areas of green oxidation. The metal appears to be a copper alloy, possibly brass or bronze.
 
Elephant-shaped vessels have appeared in several Asian metalworking traditions, where animal forms were incorporated into both practical and ceremonial objects. This piece may have been used to hold and dispense water for ritual purposes, although its precise function, date, and place of origin remain to be established. Its distinctive form and surface decoration make it an interesting example of traditional zoomorphic metalwork.
