RARE!
Old Teak Wood & Iron
Elephant Mahout Ankus Training Tool
18 Inches
This is a really rare and truly magnificent old Elephant Mahout ankus which is used by Mahouts throughout India and Southeast Asia to train, steer and direct their elephants. Thai culture reverselephants above all other creatures. Mahouts love andreveretheir elephants, often living with them. Although the ankus looks somewhat imposing, it does not harm the elephant, the mahout only taps the elephant with the ankus to teach him what and what not to do. In the past, elephants were used for such tasks as clearing forest and transportation. Until recently many Thai people still kept elephants, but nowadays most elephants in the region are kept in conservationcenters. Please check out the photos I recently took of elephants and mahouts near Chiang Mai Thailand.
Note: I have included more info about elephant mahouts below.
Dimensions: Approx 18 inches long.
Materials: Teak Woodand Iron
