AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Large bronze elephant – hollow-cast – warm patina – ca. 1950–1970

Object

Impressive bronze elephant sculpture, hollow-cast and executed in a powerful, naturalistic pose with the trunk raised. The statue features a beautiful warm brown-bronze patina, with subtly lighter highlights and darker depths, typical of decorative interior bronze from the mid-20th century.

The modeling is richly detailed: finely rendered skin texture, an expressive head, and a well-balanced stance. Due to its compact yet substantial size, the object feels very solid and is suitable as a statement piece in interior design, galleries, or public spaces.
