Description

Stone carvers in Zimbabwe reveal the essence of one of Africa's most beloved animals in smooth serpentine stone. This petite African elephant sculpture captures its spirit, if not its size, in a one-of-a-kind work of abstract art.

Elephant sculptures bring with them a wish for good luck and prosperity, making them a wonderful housewarming or wedding gift. Serpentine stone may be black, brown, green, or variegated, and sizes may have some variation.

Museum Story

Inspired by its collection of modern and contemporary African artworks, these curated offerings celebrate the National Museum of African Art's mission—to encourage "conversations about the beauty, power, and diversity of African arts and cultures worldwide."

I've never seen an elephant represented this way and I find it charming and interesting. I gifted one to a friend, and she loved it too.
