Early 20th Century English Horse Brass Elephant Ornament

This richly cast English horse brass features a regal elephant carrying a howdah, a motif long associated with strength, protection, and imperial pageantry. Traditionally mounted on leather harnesses, horse brasses served both decorative and symbolic roles—believed to bring good fortune while showcasing the pride of the owner. By the Victorian era, they became beloved emblems of rural life and craftsmanship, often collected and displayed indoors.

Complete with ribbon for hanging, this piece transitions beautifully from stable ornament to decorative accent—perfect on a door knob, wreath, gallery wall, or as a distinctive finishing touch on a gift.
