Oliphant. Culture: South Italian. Dimensions: Overall: 16 15/16 x 3 9/16 in. (43 x 9 cm). Date: 12th century. Decorated elephant tusks could be employed as drinking vessels, as horns to announce the hunt, or as symbols of feudal rights. In churches, some served as reliquary containers. As this example shows Christ as the Lamb of God, it probably was made for a Christian patron.
