English Country House Auction

A stylish elephant, brought back from vacation in the sixties, which despite its age has something modern about it. The mischievous little eyes give him a playful look. From the ears you can tell that he is not African, because they are smaller.

Een gestylleerde olifant , in de jaren 60 meegebracht uit vakantie , die ondanks zijn leeftijd iets modernistisch heeft . De guitige oogjes geven hem iets speels . Aan de oren is te zien dat hij niet Afrikaans is , want die zijn kleiner .
