Description from the seller
Details of the Sculpture
Subject and Pose: The elephant is depicted in motion, with a foreleg raised as if it is walking. The trunk is turned upward and slightly curled, a gesture traditionally symbolizing good luck and prosperity.
Coloring: The body shows several shades of gray that follow the folds of the skin and the musculature, giving it volume and realism. The tusks are bright white with an amber tint toward the tip.
Style: 20th-century Made in Italy craftsmanship. The care given to the details of the eyes and the large, protruding ears denotes a particular attention to the animal's anatomy.
It presents itself as a classic, imposing decorative piece, perfect to pair with an exotic fauna collection.
We don't ship to Germany!!!!
