Leather Elephant Sculpture II
About the Item
This is the second and slightly smaller of two c. 1950s leather clad elephants. This charming guy is in very good original condition--he maintains his original faux ivory tusks and leather. All elements appear to be original and he is without major restorations. It appears that sometime in the past he had a couple of touchups. His left ear has been bent over and there is a small tear at the top--otherwise he looks great.
**In many cultures elephants are a symbol of good luck, prosperity, fertility, health and protection.
