A floral trellis border winds around the rim of this soup plate creating reserves for scenes of elephants and horses complementing the central scene. In the center, Hannibal's army of elephants, horses and men takes on the Roman legions--in the Alps.

Few patterns match the charm of Hannibal's elephants. Complementary patterns include Ridgway's "Giraffe", Mellor Venable's "Burmese" and some of the scenes in Hackwood's "Indian Scenery".
