Titre: Elephant Goad (Ankus)
Légende: Voir la traduction automatique
Elephant Goad (Ankus). Culture: South Indian. Dimensions: L. 16 in. (40.6 cm). Date: 17th century. A goad is carried by the mahout or elephant driver. The sharp point and hook was used to guide the animal to behave or move in a specific way, making it a crucial tool for hunting expeditions. The steel blade here features fantastical creatures, while the brass butt is formed by a dog-like animal issuing from a tiger's mouth. Since it is ornately decorated, it may have also been intended for display in ceremonial processions.
