[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 1659884, member: 2844"]Oops, not really. My impression is Chinese, but I could be wrong. The Chinese often depict elephants this way, a bit 'wrinkly' and with a very curled trunk. And the saddle cloth reminds me of Chinese carved panels like the one below. Over the last few decades the Chinese have started to give polychrome painted carvings that 'antique' look.
