Featured in this lot is this South African Leadwood carved African Bush Elephant with warthog tusk. The carved elephant shows wonderful texturing shown on the body of the elephant and great craftsmanship. The African elephant (Loxodonta) is a genus comprising two living elephant species, the African bush elephant (L. africana) and the smaller African forest elephant (L. cyclotis). Both are social herbivores with grey skin, but differ in the size and color of their tusks and in the shape and size of their ears and skulls. The condition of this carved Leadwood elephant is good, with a slight crack in the right ear. The measurements of this elephant are 11" x 17" x 7".
