A rare and exceptional painted bronze and cast iron pedestal with marble top. Late 19th or early 20 century time period with Moorish influences. The sienna marble top is supported by a removable dish with a beaded edge and incised lotus leaf design to the underside. The top is supported by a tapered spoil form resting on a flared and scalloped foliage border with an overall embossed Moorish design. The entire top is supported by three superbly cast elephant busts with naturalistic detailing and intricately embossed and incised nettipattam caparisons (traditional elephant headgear) over elegantly slender upturned trunk-form ribbed legs
