Vintage Bronze tiny Elephant, Mali, 1960’s

A compact, handmade bronze casting of a tiny elephant, circa mid‑20th century and possibly older. The small figure is tactile and irregular—subtle casting marks, varied patina, and individual proportions attest to its handwork; no two are identical. It may be an example of an Ashanti gold weight (Mbramoo), historically used to measure gold and gold dust. As a vintage object it may show signs of age and use. Measures approximately 1.5" × 1.5" × 1"; similar examples are available and the exact piece may vary from the photograph.
