EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration is taken from an unknown treatise on elephants, created in the early years of the Bangkok Dynasty during the 19th century. The manuscript, a valuable piece of Thai heritage art, was produced during a time when an official at the Thai court oversaw the Department of Elephants. This department was responsible for maintaining the royal elephant herd, which was mostly composed of albinos, as well as commissioning treatises on these magnificent animals. The illustration, executed in ink and paint on paper, is bound between the pages of this manuscript. The elephant depicted in the image is a symbol of power, strength, and wisdom in Thai culture. Its massive tusks, a metaphor for wisdom and longevity, are a prominent feature of the illustration. The elephant's intricate patterns and textures are rendered in exquisite detail, showcasing the exceptional artistic skill of the unknown artist. The manuscript, with its intriguing history and stunning illustrations, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Siam (now Thailand) and Southeast Asia. It is a unique and unusual piece that transports us back in time to an era when elephants held a significant place in society and were revered for their power and majesty. This illustration is now part of the collection of the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. The manuscript itself is a valuable addition to the museum's extensive collection of Asian art, providing insight into the artistic and cultural traditions of the past.
