拍品专文


Elephant-form objects such as this luxurious coral and hardstone-embellished pair were popular imperial furnishings as elephants symbolize peace and stability. Compare the lapis lazuli figure of an elephant dated to the Qianlong period also adorned with lavishly embellished trappings, but shown supporting a vase with a tall embellished canopy, illustrated in Daily Life in the Forbidden City, New York, 1988, p. 158, no. 216.
