This is a company school style Ox bone Indian carving, its apparently from about 1890-1900 though may be older? Its quite common to see these depictions of Indian life with fancy detail but this one is very busy and lots going on. I assume its a wedding carriage as its so very fabulous and ornate but if you look at the images you will be able to tell for yourself. It has a couple areas that have been re-glued but overall it looks quite superb and its in as good a condition as you will find. great item, very well carved.Size: base is approx13.5mm x 8.5mm and it sits about 12cm high.
