<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wlwhittier, post: 6310570, member: 76316&quot;]~16&quot; long, ~6&quot; wide at the ends of the ears. It weighs ~75 ounces!</p><p>The trunk is 2 pieces, and inserted into the head ~an inch forward of the brass eyes. The tusks are rusty ~.200&quot; steel rods, the ears appear to have been carved separately &amp; inserted, similar to the trunk.</p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps the groove on top of the head is meant to depict the two domes on the head of an Asian pachyderm. If that&#039;s so, why the exaggerated ear size, which on the Asian version are <i>smaller</i> than the African?&nbsp; Hard to know what wood it&#039;s made from; there&#039;s a red finish over all...but the weight suggests teak or mahogany, or some other tropical hardwood. And, yes, there is a carved, featureless an&#039; almost de-emphasized tail, which I have failed to capture.</p><p><br /></p><p>Have any of you seen anything similar? Is it &#039;Tribal&#039;? It&#039;s posted here &#039;cause there&#039;s nowhere else for wood stuff. Thanks for lookin&#039;!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]418860[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]418861[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]418862[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]418863[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]418864[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]418865[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
