EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken at the Indian Pavilion during the British Empire Exhibition in Wembley, London, in 1924, showcases an intriguing display of elephant feet and trunks used as furniture items in the Mysore Court. The Mysore State, located in southern India, was ruled by the Wadiyar dynasty and was one of the major princely states of the British Raj. The image presents a strange yet intriguing juxtaposition of the regal and the bizarre. The elephant feet, with their massive size and intricate details, serve as ornate footstools, while the trunks, curved and twisted, function as unusual tables or decorative pieces. The use of these animal parts as furniture items was a common practice during the colonial era, reflecting the political and social power dynamics between the British and the Indian rulers. Despite the unusual and even bizarre appearance of the furniture, the image exudes an air of elegance and grandeur. The polished surfaces of the elephant feet gleam in the light, while the intricate carvings on the trunks add to their allure. The presence of the elephant brothers, standing guard at the entrance of the court, adds to the sense of majesty and power. However, the use of elephant parts as furniture items raises ethical concerns and questions about the treatment of animals during this era. The elephants were often hunted for their ivory tusks, and their bodies were used for various purposes, including the production of ivory and the creation of decorative items. The image serves as a reminder of the complex and often problematic relationship between humans and animals during this period, and the ongoing debates about the use of animal products in contemporary society. Overall, this photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the colonial era and the role of animals in shaping cultural practices and power dynamics.
