Drawing of a Frontward-Facing Elephant

Indian

The page depicts a large, frontward-facing elephant. Its ears are out to the side of its large head. Its trunk is curled upward and points left. It has two large tusks. Its eyes appear to be peering downward and are slightly crossed. The elephant’s back left leg is bent inward. Rajput style, Kota school.
