The lasso displayed in the museum is a twisted buffalo-hide rope with a loop at the end, which elephant handlers once used to capture wild elephants.

Even after looping the lasso around the elephant's leg, the handler still had to control the rope carefully, since a loose loop could allow the elephant to break free and turn back to attack.

The old elephant handler's account reveals that casting a lasso to catch an elephant's leg is not merely a contest of strength, but a task requiring finesse, patience, and an understanding of the animal's nature.
