Central Terrace, Great Enclosure, Musawwarat es-Sufra, Sudan, North-east Africa

The high relief figure of an elephant is at the end of a wall or balustrade on the central terrace of the Great Enclosure. The many representations of elephants here have led to suggestions that Musawwarat es-Sufra may have been a training centre for elephants for war or for ceremonial purposes (now mostly discounted).
