Antique Chinese Bronze Elephant Mythical Beast Scroll Weight Scholar's Object

Description: Bronze We are selling this great little Chinese bronze. This early looking bronze is of a creature that looks like an elephant but probably represents a mythical beast with flames and spots. The bronze appears to have originally been fire gilded and has still accumulated a patina so it may date from the 17th or 18th century or earlier. We believe it is intended as a scroll weight or scholar's object. Condition: Damage to tail. Gilt surface has been lost. Dimensions: Height 2 1/4 Inches 5.6 cm Width 2 7/8 Inches 7.4 cm Depth 1 1/2 Inches 4.0 cm Some items we offer have age and wear, this wear due to age may include breaks, repairs, repainting, or restoration, we try to call this damage as well as possible but please refer to the photography for a full description.
