Originally conceived as an architectural element, this piece was deftly hand crafted in the form of a domesticate elephant. Note the carved saddle blanket, reins and headpiece. He is portrayed using his trunk to hoist an object, and is wonderfully depicted; with real spirit. He will make a wonderful addition to any spot in the home, and would certainly add character to any garden.
