{"product_id":"decorated-war-elephant-pendant","title":"Decorated War Elephant Pendant","description":"\u003cp\u003eEars out, tusks up, dressed for the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eDecorated War Elephant Pendant\u003c\/strong\u003e is carved in the round and caught mid-stride, front-facing, at a full three inches. The \u003cstrong\u003eears\u003c\/strong\u003e do most of the work — fanned wide to either side, veined and wrinkled across their whole surface, with torn ragged edges rather than a clean outline. They are what gives the piece its width and its silhouette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003etrunk\u003c\/strong\u003e drops through the centre in deep ringed folds, and two heavy \u003cstrong\u003etusks\u003c\/strong\u003e sweep out and up past it, polished bright against the satin hide so they read first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe decoration is the reason for the name. A worked \u003cstrong\u003eheadplate\u003c\/strong\u003e sits across the brow with scrollwork cut into it, rising to a pierced ornament at the crown just below the bail. The front legs carry \u003cstrong\u003earmoured panels\u003c\/strong\u003e — caparison plates worked with scrolling floral motifs, each one carved rather than stamped — and the feet are finished down to the individual toenails.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is cut through between the legs, so the piece is genuinely open rather than a flat plate with a raised front. Everything is left in a fine satin except the tusks, trunk ridges and ear edges, which are brought up polished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pendant is \u003cstrong\u003ehollow with a solid back\u003c\/strong\u003e. That is what makes three inches of sculpture wearable — the shell is closed and stiffened by a solid back plate, so it hangs at a weight you can put on a chain rather than one that lives in a case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bail opening is a wide \u003cstrong\u003e8mm\u003c\/strong\u003e, sized for a heavy chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe war elephant is the old symbol of unstoppable force under discipline — strength that has been trained rather than merely possessed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy You’ll Love It:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHollow with a Solid Back\u003c\/strong\u003e – Three inches of carved sculpture at a wearable weight; no stones and no plating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFanned Textured Ears\u003c\/strong\u003e – Veined and wrinkled with torn edges, carrying the whole silhouette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarved Battle Dress\u003c\/strong\u003e – Scrolled headplate, pierced crown ornament and armoured leg panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOpen Between the Legs\u003c\/strong\u003e – Cut clean through, not a flat plate with a raised face\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8mm Bail\u003c\/strong\u003e – Wide enough to take a heavy chain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eChain not included.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade to order, turnaround time is typically 2-4 weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3” in height including bail\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBail Opening\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHollow with a solid back\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEstimated Weight by Purity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePurity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eApprox.
