“My Family of Elephants is Growing!”

This "friendly tai" elephant displays a strong magnificent presence as a leader and protector of his herd. Beautifully carved rich brown wood with a raised trunk as if searching for water. A very lovely addition to my collection.

“Very nice and pretty statue”

This came very fast BUT when I unwrapped it the trunk was broken but it was wrapped very tight so it might have been my fault ripping it open. I glued it and it looks good.

“The importance of saving elephants”

The mother and baby elephant are beautifully crafted. They have a brown matte finish, rather than glossy, making them more realistic. Perfect gift for my elephant-loving son.
