Vintage Indian Silver-Tone Metal Elephant & Floral Pierced Clutch Purse

Distinctive vintage-style Indian metal clutch purse featuring elaborate pierced and embossed floral decoration throughout the exterior.

The purse is highlighted by raised elephant medallions on both sides, surrounded by densely worked floral and foliate motifs. The rigid metal construction includes a fixed top handle, hinged lid, decorative front clasp, and small raised feet on the base.

The openwork design gives the piece an especially intricate appearance, while the elephant motifs provide a striking focal point characteristic of traditional Indian decorative arts.

No silver purity marks or maker's marks have been identified; therefore, this piece is being offered as silver-tone/white metal and not as sterling or solid silver.

An unusual decorative accessory that displays beautifully and would appeal to collectors of vintage handbags, Indian decorative arts, elephant-themed collectibles, and ornate metalwork.
