Elephant and Calf
Carved in Kemnay granite this sculpture was inspired by the cave art at Lascaux in France where the images of animals were carved on to the natural rock surfaces.
Rae’s sculpture represents an elephant family – on one side the tusked patriarch with the baby elephant, on the other side the gentle matriarch.
The sculpture was purchased from the Regent’s Park Exhibtion, carefully packed in a container and shipped out to the USA.
