Decorative silvered brass animal sculpture depicting a dramatic elephant under attack by two tigers, one climbing across the elephant’s back and the other positioned beneath its front body. The elephant is modeled with an upraised curling trunk, long tusks, textured hide, and finely detailed ears and facial features, while both tigers are rendered with expressive faces, articulated paws, and engraved fur texture. The composition is mounted to a stepped ebonized wood plinth, giving the piece a strong sculptural presence and an exotic animalier character. The silvered brass surfaces show scattered scuffs, scratches, and light rubbing consistent with age and handling, while the black-painted wood base has additional edge wear, small losses, and surface marks. Measures 9.5" H x 9.5" W x 5.5" D.
