A Persian War Elephant—proud and brave—stands dressed in his parade finery: chain mail armor and a dress blanket decorated with Persian tracery. While King Darius's Persian elephants did not keep Alexander the Great at-bay forever, they did slow him down. These bronze-clad and polychromed bookends exhibit exquisite detail. They were made by Armor Bronze of New York City in the Teens or Twenties. (5.5" x 7.25") be12937d
