Description
A ceramic decoration from 1960s France in the shape of an elephant. A saddle seat and blanket are glazed with pale blue and ochre, the elephant's skin painted with dark celadon and laced with lines of the earth tone clay body; the assortment of delicate patterns - reflecting Chinese and Arabic influences - suggest the romance of the Silk Road. The elephant stands patiently, pausing in its forward trot, eyes gleaming, almost ready to embark.
