Teak & Metal Elephant Sculpture
Celebrate the strength and majesty of the elephant with this striking handcrafted sculpture made from natural teak wood and polished metal. This unique piece fuses organic and industrial elements to dramatic effect: a solid, richly textured teak body is adorned with gleaming silver-toned metal details including the ears, legs, tusks, and a gracefully upturned trunk. Likely originating from Southeast Asia or India—regions known for their tradition of teak craftsmanship and reverence for elephants—this sculpture is an excellent example of mixed-media folk art. The trunk raised high is a traditional symbol of good luck and prosperity, making this an ideal gift or conversation piece.
