The sculpture features an elephant sitting upright with its trunk curled across its chest on a rectangular base. The elephant's features are stylized with a smooth surface and simplified form capturing an elegant posture. The sculpture is colored in shades of yellow with dark patches resembling aged bronze. Its compact size and distinct features make it suitable for close observation or displaying on a table or shelf. The stylized elephant has a slightly abstract, artistic feel while retaining recognizable characteristics.
