It is a gift presented to Chairman Kim Jong Il from president of the Asian Institute of the Juche Idea in September 1983.
From old times in India, only emperors and the generals who went to the front at the head of an army or returned having displayed valor and a great feat used to ride the elephant in wonderful dress. Therefore, the Indian people have regarded the elephant as a symbol of bravery and feat and portrayed it into diverse objects of art and presented them as gifts to the great men.
