这件高贵的象杖完全由黄金制成，通体涂有珐琅，并镶满宝石，专门用于展览和仪式，而非骑象时使用。柄部装饰有螺旋状图案，图案由色彩鲜艳的半透明珐琅制成，上面雕刻有精美的花朵和叶子，并镶嵌有大量的台面切割钻石。头部呈大象造型，镶嵌着丰富的红宝石。
Fashioned entirely of gold, enamelled and jewel-encrusted throughout, this princely elephant goad was made specifically for exhibition and ceremonial purposes, rather than for use when riding an elephant. The haft is decorated with a spiral pattern of finely worked flowers and foliage in brightly coloured translucent enamel profusely set throughout with table-cut diamonds. The head is formed as an elephant, richly set with rubies.
阿库丝刺棒。流行于17到19世纪印度的阿库丝刺棒，长37厘米，重590克，原是一种驯象的刺棒，用于捅刺动物。通过用尖头和钩子对动物皮肤施加压力，达到驯服动物的目的。打仗时，这种兵器则是很好的捕杀兵器，印度士兵一手持刺棒，一手持钉头锤，刺棒将敌人钩住，钉头锤攻击敌人头部。
Ankus popular in India from the 17th to the 19th century, is 37 centimeters long and weighs 590 grams. It was originally an elephant training stinger used to stab animals. By applying pressure to animal skin with pointed tips and hooks, the goal of taming animals is achieved. During battles, this type of weapon is a great hunting weapon. Indian soldiers hold a thorn stick in one hand and a nail hammer in the other. The thorn stick hooks the enemy, and the nail hammer attacks the enemy's head.
