Expertly executed with smooth, flowing contours and expressive detailing, this piece features elegantly raised trunk symbolism and luminous inlaid mother-of-pearl tusks. The natural stone displays dramatic marbling in deep greens, moss tones, and golden veining, giving the sculpture exceptional visual movement and depth.

Substantial in both presence and weight, this object functions as a true statement piece — equally impactful on a console, credenza, library shelf, or executive desk.
Elephants traditionally symbolize strength, wisdom, protection, and prosperity, making this sculpture both decorative and meaningful.

• Palm Beach or Hollywood Regency
