Vintage Brass Elephant Trinket Box with Removable Lid

Hand-cast in India during the 1960s to 1970s, this decorative container is stamped on the underside with its authentic foundry registry number India #568. The sculptural silhouette features a charming up-curved good luck trunk, hand-detailed tusks, and large, smooth fan-shaped ears. The back lifts off, exposing a substantial interior basin for trinket storage. 

During the post-war Hollywood Regency design boom, specialized artisanal foundries produced sand-cast novelty containers for high-end Western export boutiques. The registry code "#568" is a dedicated foundry pattern number used to track this specific two-piece elephant mold configuration across production lines.
