Baby Elephant Running Bronze Sculpture by Dean Kendrick from Richard Cooper and Company Bronze
Surprisingly, elephant calves can run at 25 mph, although technically, because they always have one foot on the ground they are not running! They are also good swimmers.
For the first four years of life they need their Mother for milk, and re-assurance. In fact, for added re-assurance, they suck their trunks in the same way human babies suck their thumbs.

The baby elephant is made in solid foundry bronze using the ancient method of lost wax casting. The design finished by the art of patination where various acids are applied to the surface of the bronze and heat applied to create a deep rich brown patina. Then bronze is then sealed with a special wax which further enhances the colour and protects the bronze for years to come.
Your elephant is beautifully presented in a printed box containing a signed certificate of authenticity. The bronze is engraved with the sculptor’s signature and limited edition number, matching the certificate enclosed.
