Not only does the image of the elephant, the abundance of gemstones, and the use of stained glass enamel stand out, but the very shape of this pendant evokes the lavish jewelry adored by the dusky, dark-eyed beauties of Hindustan. In India, the elephant has long been regarded as a sacred animal, symbolizing faith, wealth, and the power of the great rulers—Maharajas—who possess untold treasures. In a gesture of reverence and gratitude toward this giant, the people of India hold an annual festival celebrating elephants.
