Yard Art Elephant Appraisal

Elephant Family Water Feature / Sculpture

This item is a decorative sculpture, likely functioning as a small indoor water feature or a standalone figurine group, depicting a family of elephants within a lush, naturalistic setting. The piece is primarily constructed from what appears to be a resin or similar composite material, sculpted and painted to mimic a rocky, grass-covered terrain with trees and possibly a water pool. The dominant colors are various shades of green for the foliage and terrain, with gray and brownish-pink tones for the elephants. There are at least three elephants visible: two adults and one smaller, younger elephant. One adult elephant is positioned higher on the 'hillside' with its trunk raised, showcasing detailed features like wrinkled skin texture and prominent ears. Another adult, or possibly a larger juvenile, is situated lower down, peering into what looks like a recessed area, potentially a small pond for a water feature. The overall texture is rough and uneven, simulating natural earth and vegetation. Several slender, brownish elements resemble fallen logs or tree trunks, enhancing the natural scene. The craftsmanship appears to be commercially produced, with a good level of detail in the animal figures and the sculpted environment. Given the medium and style, it likely dates from the late 20th or early 21st century. No visible manufacturing marks or significant condition issues like chips or cracks are discernable from the provided images, though a full assessment would require closer inspection. The item's likely purpose is decorative, offering a serene and wildlife-inspired aesthetic.
