Japan, Large Bronze Elephant From The Meiji Period

Superb Japanese bronze elephant from the Meiji period, late 19th century, early 20th century.
A very beautiful realistic bronze.
The artist has managed to restore the scale, posture and many details of the animal.
Look closely at the details, even the texture of the animal's skin is accurately rendered.
Often this type of Japanese elephant is presented without a terrace, this one has kept its own which highlights it.
The proportions are perfect.
The tusks are made of bronze unlike some models where they are made of ivory and ultimately it is better because the prerogatives concerning the sale of ivory today are more and more restrictive. This elephant is modeled in a peaceful attitude and will enhance your interior with an exotic touch. The brown patina is in perfect condition.

A very high quality Meiji bronze elephant model, superb and realistic.

Dimensions:
40 cm long with the terrace and 24 cm high.
