This characterful and beautifully carved teak elephant corbel dates to the 19^th century and would have been an architectural beam support. It comes from Andhra Pradesh state in the southeastern coastal area of India.

It's clear to see this item was hand carved with passion. There is a beautiful layer of pale blue paint still visible on this piece which adds to its charm. There is also an old break to one of the tusks (visible in photos).

Indian architectural pieces like this one are salvaged from old buildings in disrepair. As India develops, many of the old homes and havelis are being replaced with modern fixtures and fittings in the name of progress. Luckily, this piece has been saved and mounted on a simple iron stand giving it a new lease of life as a unique decorative ornament.
