This intricately detailed piece depicts an elephant on wheels , crafted from fine brass . The figure is hand-forged using a traditional and time-honored manufacturing method: the statues are cast from molten brass using the artful lost-wax casting process (Cire Perdue). After casting, the artwork is finished by hand and then carefully patinated , giving the elephant a profound, antique character and a striking surface texture. With compact dimensions of approximately 6 cm wide, 6 cm high, and 4 cm deep, this statue is a charming symbol of good fortune, strength, and mobility.
