“The importance of saving elephants”

The mother and baby elephant are beautifully crafted. They have a brown matte finish, rather than glossy, making them more realistic. Perfect gift for my elephant-loving son.

“Grounding Piece for My Ecletic Bathroom”

This handsome elephant mask balances out all of the bright colors of the Latincan American art I have. My roomate attached the tusks and we hung it over the light fixture to gaze out over his domain.

“Not what I expected”

I know every carving is different and not going match the picture. But the one I got was painted solid, cant see any grain. And it feels light and plastic. I was expecting a bit heavier and I did weight it and it was only about 0.1LB lighter than the listed weight. This is first item I ever returned with probably 30+ orders. I did have to say overall the price on Novica is getting a little out the hand, the full price must have gone up 25-50% over the last 3-4 years. Not sure all that increase benefits the artisans or the Novica staff...
