Lovely little elephant there, I adore the added details of the dangling stones- makes him look very opulent! I think he may be some sort of elephant royalty- he definitely looks the part! :)
pretty little thing ... nice find .... '-))
He's a star in any circus he goes to, beautiful !~
Many thanks all for the kind love

Lauren thank you so much for your delightful ideation about this elephant & the warm praise, yes this fellow is very royal looking & appears to be part of a regal procession! The designer placed the beads in perfect position for how the Indian elephants are decorated. This is the original unretouched design for this Carnegie elephant, newer versions have wild colors like lime green enamel but I like this kind of royal version & love his winsome face
Thank you Rocky for your wonderful compliment & enjoying this elephant, it was a truly nice find of a vintage design
Phil this elephant would look amazing at the circus, how I wish they still allowed animals to participate, they were such a huge part of circus attraction esp for kids. I still remember going backstage to see all sorts incl elephants, tigers, horses, camels etc., an animal lovers paradise! Thank you for your fabulous praise & renewing fond circus memories for me
