Mama & Baby Elephant Trunk Up Marble Resin Sculpture by A. Santini Made In Italy

This bonding process, which Santini was instrumental in developing, was used in his sculptures until his death in 1975. This sculpture is fair condition due to a small chip on the baby elephant’s ear (see pictures 8 and 9. Depending how you position it, you cannot see the chip from every viewpoint. Dimensions: Approximately 6.5” long, 5.75” tall, 2” wide Weight: 10.2 oz (before packaging) Elephant figurines are often regarded as symbols of good fortune and are believed to attract prosperity and success. The placement of the figurine can also hold significance, with some believing that an elephant facing away from the entrance brings luck, while one facing inward protects the home.
