Considered since ancient times the guardian animal of devotion, memory and wisdom, the Elephant is even now a revered entity, which has become a symbol of its most intrinsic values.
Mighty, majestic and peaceful, this “terrestrial power” takes shape into Animalia by abstracting its physical peculiarities of appearance and character. A seamless and curvilinear profile flexes up to an intersection, outlining a round body and well-defined elephant trunk and fangs. This element is placed on cylindrical marble plinths, which accentuate its practical and symbolic stability.
The contrast of materials and reflections gives value and charm to the Elephant.
