ABOUT PRODUCTID 18115
This miniature elephant figurine, designed by Herta Baller in Austria during the 1950s–60s, is crafted from solid bronze with both polished and gently patinated surfaces. Measuring 3.6 cm in height, 5 cm in length, and 2.5 cm in width, it acts as a refined yet subtle decorative accent. The predominant deep, matte bronze is contrasted with golden highlights along the edges of the ears, trunk tip, and base—details that accentuate its stylized, geometric form. The elephant’s oversized, rounded ears and elongated downward trunk reflect characteristic mid-century modern aesthetics, balancing playfulness with abstraction. The surface is smoothly polished but retains delicate traces of the casting process, while the organically shaped transitions between body segments are seamless, with no visible joints or mechanical fixings. The figurine remains in very good vintage condition, with no signs of restoration or damage; its patina and sculptural detail authentically convey the spirit of its era.The form of this sculpture gently pays homage to the modernist optimism of the mid-twentieth century. Herta Baller’s elephant embodies the 1950s vision, when abstraction and geometry were vehicles for expressive simplicity. The subtle shine on the ears and trunk evokes a cheerful outlook, and the smoothness of the bronze invites tactile admiration—as if the piece were a small talisman of daily kindness. The minimal design carries a discreet sense of humor,
