What a beautiful statue! I love elephants and am very pleased with my purchase after reading all the reviews. I placed my order yesterday and it arrived today - a day earlier than expected! The item was securely packaged. The statue is bigger than I had anticipated but it looks wonderful with all the details. It's going to be a great addition to my new living room. Plus, I found out that the company that made the statue is located not too far from my house so I'll be checking out their other items!
