Medium Elephant

£50.00

An elephant striding forward with its trunk raised and curled upward, hand-built in Zimbabwe from reclaimed steel. The raised trunk is the defining gesture of the piece — a lively greeting that gives the animal movement rather than a static pose. Of all the pieces in the collection, this is the one that most clearly announces where it was made.

The construction is the most colourful in the range. Large curved panels of salvaged painted sheet in postbox red, mustard yellow, olive green and worn white are cut to shape and welded together, leaving the original paint, stencilling, printed lettering and wear of the donor material fully visible. Traces of stamped numbering remain across the flank.

The head and ear are worked as separate layered plates, the ear standing proud of the skull with a heavy welded seam. The trunk is built from banded segments that taper to a curled tip. A pair of pale tusks flank the trunk beneath a punched eye, while four substantial legs each carry a different colour with cut toenails at the foot.

Colour variation: Panel colours, lettering and surface wear vary between elephants because the finish comes from the reclaimed material. The photographs are representative; your piece may have a different colour combination and markings. A specific colour combination is not guaranteed.

A substantial surface or floor piece for a hall console, sideboard, wide shelf or hearth. It also works outdoors on a patio, lawn edge, terrace or path.

Care
