I understand a lot of finely decorated weapons where made to impress. Either carried around by rulers to impress each other/their subjects or by priests because you don’t want to make your god look swagless.
But can somebody enlighten me what might have lead to “I really need this elephant-poker to have at least 800work-hours in it!”
Sidenote, apparently it should be “Ankusha” as Ankush only brings up a variety of Bollywood actors and movies.
