A large tall lucky sea shell encrusted elephant statue or figurine. Covered in shells, this elephant stands with its trunk up pointed toward the sky.

Its trunk features a wooden piece at the tip of its nose. Its four feet are painted brown, as well as its tongue and the end of its tail. Its brown eyes are glass and lifelike.
