Smithsonian Institution Exclusive
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. This one-of-a-kind sculpture is hand carved from natural serpentine stone and may be a variety of colors beyond what is pictured. Sizes may also have variation.
