The choir stalls in Manchester Cathedral date from around 1505-1510. This misericord, in the fifth stall from the west on the south side of the choir, depicts an elephant carrying a double-turreted castle upon its back. No trunk has been carved for the elephant. This is supported on either side by three flowers in a roundel.
