Elephant with pagoda in gilt bronze and cloisonné enamels
Decorative sculpture depicting an elephant with a pagoda or pavilion above it, on an architectural base.
The object stands out for its spectacular verticality and the complexity of its construction, which combines an animal figure, a decorated platform and a summit pavilion in a single composition.
The gilded bronze body, enriched in some areas with cloisonné enamels, supports a structure resembling a small temple or canopy, with suspended bells and an elaborate crowning.
The rich chromaticism, entrusted to the dialogue between gilding and blue, red and green enameled fields, accentuates the ceremonial character of the work. The ensemble appears to be conceived as a grand representative element, in which the quality of the materials and the fineness of the decoration contribute to a strong visual impact.
