Hi all
I found this figure on Facebook and nobody can tell me the manufacturer of this figure. It is either Burmese or siamese war elephant.

If we could have a hint, is it something that we might see this weekend at World Expo?

Prost!

It is . The pictures were emailed to me with the promise of confidentiality!
There is a flag bearer by the same artist that is even better than the elephant!!!!

The model is a Siamese War Elephant circa 1866 used in Siamese-Burmese War IMO.

Hi Katana

The Armour Suit of the Warrior more look like Burmese style. But the Garuda picture from the Elephant say it is Siamese because Garuda is national sign of Thailand. I also confused. And then in 1866 there is no more war between Burmese and Siamese because First Anglo Burmese War start in 1824. I think this War Elephant is used in Siamese-Burmese War between 1547 to 1605 (The war between Toungoo Dynasty and Ayutthaya Dynasty)

Htet; the third Burmese-Siamese war took place between 1885 and 1891. The Anglo-Burmese war took place in 1893. I can understand the confusion there were many Burmese-Siamese wars:
1547 to 49, 1759 to 60, 1765 to 67, 1785 to 86 and 1792.

Hi Katana

Yes there are so many Burmese-Siamese wars. But Still can say two major time first is 1547 to 1593 and second is 1759 to 1767. The rest are not really major battles. And then first Anglo-Burmese War starts in 1824-1826 this time Siamese join with British but not in important role i think after that no big issues between Burmese and Siamese because Burmese become part of British Empire after third Anglo-Burmese War 1885. Trust me Katana because i'm Burmese{sm4}

Look at Olga Kropotova on Facebook! She is the painter. There you'll see the Siam elephant and the standard bearer I was talking about

Thanks. Zach i found it and appreciated for that. Do you know the elephant is custom made or from which manufacturer.

Given the level of detail and that it is an anatomically correct Asian Elephant, it is a very high quality casting. The pose is sublime. The painter is very talented and the painting is superb.
I look forward to hearing the details about this fine piece.
