Resin elephant with silver plate. S.XX

Description:
Precious resin elephant or plastic. It is realized in several pieces, with a resin or black plastic, by casting in mold. In the left rear leg, a small part of the coating sheet has been lost, leaving a joint visible. Based on this, we estimate that quite possibly all the legs and the trunk are independent pieces. The black core is covered by a very thin sheet, probably copper and very thin, which we estimate in approximately 2 tenths of a millimeter. This veneer coating, joins all the pieces of which the elephant is composed. The plate has a first brass bath, and a second silver bath. These baths are very worn, letting themselves see the silver tone, gold and copper. It has not been cleaned, as we consider it has a very interesting patina, giving it a very attractive appearance. He does not have fangs. It would be easy to get them, buying an African wood elephant, currently made, and having a few properly sized bone tusks.

It presents the own attrition of its time, as well as some stains. It has small damages. The data provided here are unconfirmed personal opinions.
