Ancient Medieval Indo-Himalayan Elephant Amulet, 7th-10th Century AD

Item Details

Description

This charming elephant zoomorphic amulet, sculpted from red diorite, is a piece from the Medieval Indo-Himalayan region, dating from the 7th to the 10th century AD. The amulet's dimensions are 2.7x2.1x1.5 cm. Diorite is a durable and hard stone, indicating that this amulet was crafted to last, a typical practice in the creation of such meaningful objects during the medieval period. Elephants are widely recognized in various cultures, especially in Indo-Himalayan regions, for their strength, wisdom, and as symbols of good fortune. This artifact, with its polished surface and drilled holes suggesting it was worn or hung, could have served as a protective talisman or a token of status. Its well-preserved state and the fine material from which it is made make this piece a remarkable representation of the period's material culture. It is an enticing collectible for those interested in the symbolic and artistic expressions of the medieval Indo-Himalayan civilizations.
