Onyx Elephant Figurine

Hand-carved white onyx elephant figurine with raised trunk, mid-20th century, Mexico. Stone carving has been central to Mexican craft traditions for centuries. The elephant — symbolising strength, wisdom, and good fortune across many cultures — was a popular subject for Mexican onyx carvers supplying the tourist and export markets of the mid-20th century. White onyx, with its subtle veining and luminous quality, gives this piece a pleasing elegance.
