Vintage Razza Stylized Elephant Pendant Necklace

A substantial and iconic vintage pendant by Razza, featuring his signature mixed-media animal head design. This piece depicts an elephant face with a central portion made of gray to pewter-toned injection-molded resin, styled with a matte, slightly textured finish that mimics organic material. The head is accented with bright gold-toned metal components, including long fanned ears, narrow eyes, and tusks. The gold-tone finish on the ears features a brushed or florentine texture, common in 1970s costume jewelry. The elephant's forehead exhibits decorative zig-zag or chevron geometric engraving. The pendant hangs from a matching heavy double-link curb chain. This style is characteristic of Luca Razza's 1960s-1970s designs, which were known for their bold, 'wildlife' statement aesthetic. The condition appears well-preserved, though there is a visible natural patina on the metal and slight surface wear on the resin. The craftsmanship is high-quality for the era, utilizing a unique combination of materials that gives the piece a three-dimensional, sculptural weight.
