The African Elephant Bust Edge Sculpture is part of the wildlife collection from Matt Buckleys Edge Sculpture range which are renowned for being the antiques and collectables of the future. They are thoughtfully sculpted to represent the original creature with an emphasis on aesthetic design moulded with the minds eye. 

The African elephant is the largest land animal on earth and is one of the most unique looking creatures on the planet. They have a characteristic long nose or trunk with large ears, thick strong legs and long tusks that have evolved from teeth. The elephant’s tusks are used for gathering food, digging, lifting and defence. Sadly the unique ivory tusks have also made these beautiful creatures a target of poachers and have put elephants on the endangered list.

The African Elephant is one of the most intelligent creatures in the wild, they can display joy, love, anger, compassion and grief. Experts believe that the elephants emotional capacity knows no limits and their complex range of emotions even suggest that they act of feelings and not just survival instincts.

Our African Elephant Bust Edge Sculpture is a wonderful representation of this powerful intelligent creature and will make a real statement piece displayed in any home or commercial premises.  For collectors of Elephant sculptures, there are three other Elephant sculptures, the Elephant Calf Edge Sculpture, the Elephant Edge Sculpture in white and the Elephant Edge Sculpture In Mocha.

How Edge Sculptures are made

The original African Elephant piece is moulded and given life from clay that is then expertly encapsulated in rubber to produce the parent mould.

The pieces are then cast from a durable composite granite and are vacuum sealed with a bleed as to remove compromising air bubbles from the structure. The curative period is then initiated and sustained until the structure is aptly hardened.

The African Elephant is then meticulously examined and fettled as to outline the depth of detail and heighten the sculptures natural form. For finishing it is then passionately coloured, shaded and detailed by our expert artists; completing the creation of a masterpiece that is a stunning representation of this magnificent creature.
