Sterling Silver Model Elephant - Vintage 1973 Video

Sterling Silver Model Elephant - Vintage 1973

Description

This exceptional vintage cast sterling silver ornament has been realistically modelled in the form of an elephant.

This vintage silver ornament has been embellished with details reproducing the fine definition of the elephant's skin and anatomical features.

The model is further ornamented with a pair of gem-set eyes.

Such elephant ornaments, crafted in silver with an upward facing trunk, are highly uncommon and unusual.

NOTE: Whilst an elephant ornament is symbolic of protection, strength and good luck, the trunk plays a role in the deeper meaning. An elephant will lift its trunk to greet friends and express gladness, thus artwork depicting an upward pointing trunk is said to apportion energy, luck, well-being and kindness.
