Highly decorative antique brass object featuring a tall, richly patterned column crowned by opposing elephant heads, with two smaller animal-head supports below. Openings in the elephants’ mouths suggest that the piece may originally have formed part of a decorative water or rosewater fountain.
Its exact original purpose and country of origin remain unknown, but the detailed casting, aged patina and sculptural animal decoration indicate a likely 19th-century date or earlier.
