20 inches in length from base to tip. Adjacent to bird is a crowned woman's figure, in fancy dress, holding a tiny globe in her left hand and a trident in her right hand, and below that a sailing ship traversing the water. A large, densely embellished crown tops the lion within the circle, completing the motif. Below the peacock, on the reverse side, an elephant is depicted, bearing an ornate howdah, walking over bushes, with a flowery engraving to his front. The animals' eyes, and those of the royal person, contain tiny iron, or silver studs, within the cavities.
Entire horn has a mellow greyish-tan patina throughout.
A superb piece of workmanship and history.
