A Set of Fifteen Hand Carved Hardwood Elephant Figurines - A collection of fifteen elephant figurines hand-carved from a dense tropical hardwood. The graduated set features various standing poses, with some figures depicted with trunks raised and others with trunks lowered. Each figurine is carved from a solid piece of dark, fine-grained wood, possibly ebony, showing a deep black polished finish. The ears, trunks, and bodies exhibit varying levels of hand-finished detail, ranging from smooth surfaces to visible chisel marks and textured grain. Most of the figurines are fitted with inset tusks carved from a contrasting light-colored material such as bone or a synthetic substitute. No maker's marks, signatures, or labels are visible on the bodies of the pieces. A red-foiled chocolate candy is present in the photographs for scale.
