Alphabet Elephant Decorative Plate

This is a round decorative plate, predominantly white or off-white, featuring an illustrative design centered around an elephant. The elephant is depicted in a naturalistic style with shades of grey and black for its body, standing on a ground rendered in green and light brown/tan. The central image is framed by a square border, and within this border, above and below the elephant, are inscriptions. The word "Wild" can be seen to the left of the elephant and "Animals" to its right, while below the elephant, the letters likely spell "The" and "Elephant". The outer rim of the plate is adorned with a stylized alphabet, with letters from A through Z arranged in sections around the perimeter. These letters appear to be hand-drawn in a dark color, possibly black or dark brown, with small star or cross-shaped embellishments between some of them. The overall aesthetic suggests a vintage or antique feel, potentially from the late 19th or early 20th century, given the illustrative style and the presentation of the alphabet. The plate appears to be made of ceramic or porcelain, indicated by its smooth surface and typical plate form. While no specific maker's mark is visible in the provided image, such marks would typically be found on the reverse side. The plate exhibits a good level of craftsmanship, with clear lines and vibrant, yet muted, colors. There are no immediately obvious signs of chips, cracks, or significant wear visible from this angle, though a slight patina commensurate with age might be present on the surface.
