Description from the seller

Details of the Sculpture
Subject and Pose: The elephant is depicted in motion, with one front leg raised as if it were walking. The trunk is raised and slightly curled, a gesture traditionally symbolizing luck and prosperity.
Coloring: The body features several shades of gray following the folds of the skin and the muscles, giving volume and realism. The tusks are ivory white with an amber tint toward the tip.
Style: Made-in-Italy craftsmanship of the twentieth century. The care in the details of the eyes and the large, sprawled ears denotes a particular attention to the animal's anatomy.
It presents as a classical and imposing decorative piece, perfect to pair with a collection of exotic fauna.
We do not ship to Germany!!!!
