Little Bronze Elephant on Wheels, One-of-a-Kind
A small cast-bronze elephant toy with gently turning wheels; playful, weighty, and full of quiet character.
Its trunk has been lost over time, giving the piece a tender asymmetry that only adds to its charm.
The bronze carries a soft patina and traces of touch, evidence of both age and affection.
