I purchased this for a friend who loves hippos. She has a large collection of figurines, and this was a beautiful and unique addition. It's just as sweet in person as in the photo.
I bought this one long time ago. I was leaving in OR and people in our small town complaint of squirrels invading their hazelnut trees. So I placed this statue on the hill to remind people not to forget to feed the squirrels. Now that I moved out to another state people continue the tradition of feeding the squirrels. Great unique statue that looks so real. Very fine wood carving!
This "friendly tai" elephant displays a strong magnificent presence as a leader and protector of his herd. Beautifully carved rich brown wood with a raised trunk as if searching for water. A very lovely addition to my collection.
