Medieval Indo-Himalayan Glass Elephant Amulet Family, 10th-12th Century AD

Item Details

Description

A charming set of three glass amulets from the Medieval Indo-Himalayan region, representing an elephant family, dating from the 10th to the 12th century AD. The sizes range from 14 to 19 mm, depicting what appears to be a father, mother, and child elephant, rendered in a stylized form. Glass was a precious material during this period, and these figures would have been considered valuable items. The amulets exhibit a serene quality with a translucent blue hue, indicative of the peace and wisdom elephants represent. They likely served as protective talismans or tokens of affection and family unity. This collection would be a significant acquisition for any collector specializing in Asian or glass antiquities, offering a tangible piece of the spiritual and material culture of the medieval Indo-Himalayan region.
