King Elephant Brooch
Unique, art-inspired gifts for her.
This endearing elephant honors the great 'Alam Guman Gajraj as depicted in a magnificent watercolor painted around 1640 and now in The Met's Islamic Art collection. The Museum's portrait, which is attributed to the artist Bichitr (Indian, active ca. 1610–60), features a Persian inscription commemorating the animal as the "king of elephants." Elephants were prized in Indian courts, and this mighty tusker was presented to the Mughal emperor Jahangir during the New Year celebrations of March 21, 1614.
