Large Hand-Carved Ebony Elephant Sculpture, African Style, Trunk Raised

A large, hand-carved elephant figurine of African origin, expertly crafted from solid ebony wood. The sculpture features a dynamic pose with the trunk raised high, symbolising good luck and prosperity. It exhibits detailed anatomical stylisation on the ears, trunk, and feet, characteristic of mid-20th-century artisanal woodcarving. The piece includes inset light-coloured eyes and a single remaining tusk fashioned from a contrasting white material, likely bone. There are no visible maker’s marks or signatures.
