Vintage African Elephant

Handmade bronze baby elephant with a dark, iron-like patina. Circa mid-20th century and possibly older, this compact sculpture measures approximately 2.5" × 2" × 1.25". It may be an example of an Ashanti gold weight (Mbramoo), objects historically used to measure gold and gold dust. Each piece is unique; subtle differences in finish, dimensions, and small imperfections reflect age and handwork. As a vintage item it may show signs of wear. Multiples are offered under a single parent listing, so the photographed example may not be the exact piece received.
