Mid-Century Modernist Off White Glazed Terracotta Elephant Sculpture

About the Item

This striking Mid-Century Modernist elephant sculpture, crafted in off-white glazed terra cotta, embodies the minimalist aesthetic of the 1970s. Its clean lines and simplified form reflect the era's focus on abstraction and organic shapes, while the subtle glaze adds texture and warmth. Originating from Beigum circa 1970, this sculpture captures the gentle strength of the elephant through its understated design, making it equally suited as a decorative accent or a collector's item for admirers of modernist art. A charming representation of mid-century artistry. In Excellent Vintage Condition. Beigum, circa 1970 Dimensions: Height: 10" x Width: 5" x Depth: 9.5"
