A little bronze African elephant

The original little bronze statue dates back to the sixties of the last century. It come (probably) from Burkina Faso or (perhaps) from Mali. It represents a quite stylized elephant, with large ears, a partially bended trunk, and long, rather asymmetric, fangs. One can moreover distinguish a large round eye. The photo is taken with a macro, and it is in a monochromatic version that aims to accentuate the stylization. The little statue is on a white background and the small piece of coral under one of the elephant’s paws gives back the idea of the dimensions, too, since it measures a few millimeters (March, 2018).
