Hand Carved Wood Elephant Large Vintage

We absolutely love this sizable and incredibly detailed hand carved wood elephant. We love the incredible craftsmanship on these pieces and they make the coolest decor on any surface. This piece has some slight surface wear to be expected with a vintage item. Part of one tusk has broken off slightly but it adds more character as elephants can chip their tusks in the wild as well.
