Handcarved Elephant and Rhinoerous Stone Sculptures

These are likely hand carved from African soapstone, which are common materials for such sculptures. Elephants are often associated with good luck, wisdom, prosperity, and strength in various cultures and practices. Rhinos can symbolize strength, power, resilience, and protection. Soapstone sculptures can serve as decorative pieces for homes or offices, adding a touch of African art. With hand carved art, it's sometimes difficult to tell if there is damage, or if that is how the artist sculpted the item. Both the elephant and rhino show places, as depicted, that fit this. I'm unclear if there is damage, or if it's how the artist created intended the sculptures. Please review all photos as they are part of the description.
