ANKUSH WITH DECORATED METAL HANDLE

This metal Ankush with a sharp iron goad is a vintage and rare collectible.

Ankush is a tool that was used as an elephant goad in handling and training elephants. It has a pointed hook usually made of iron and this is used as the main tool in handling the elephant. This Ankush has beautiful engraving all over.

Ankush is the symbol of control, the idea of controlling our thoughts and mind is greatly spoken of in Hinduism and its meditation techniques. Lord Ganesha is sometimes shown holding an Ankush in his right upper arm. This goad also has auspicious importance in Hinduism and is thought to be one of the eight auspicious objects known as the Ashtamangala.

Acknowledging the fact that handling elephants by piercing them with a sharp tool is an act of utmost cruelty, the Indian government has banned the use of Iron Ankush.

Handpicked for its originality and allure, this handpicked unique vintage piece is sure to add radiance to your interiors.
