Antique Elephant Lidded Box

This square Rajasthani inlay box is built from individually placed tiles that create a subtle sheen across its tapering form.  Each side is adorned with a meticulously hand‑painted procession inspired by the Mughal and Rajput miniature tradition, featuring figures, pavilions, and ornamented elephants rendered in deep indigo, warm ochre, and soft ivory tones.  The stepped lid continues the narrative with bold elephant motifs and fine geometric detailing along the finial, giving the piece a striking sense of artistry from every angle.  Beneath the inlay, the solid wood core lends an appealing weight, while the palette and layered decoration evoke the time‑honoured craftsmanship associated with North India.
