Default Life Size - Ironwood African Elephant carving
I live in South Africa and have decided to sell this 2300kg, Life size Ironwood Elephant carving, carvings this size simply do not exist and the attention to detail is remarkable, it took the artist 3years to complete.

PM me if you have any questions.

That's an extraordinary piece (of work, too).
Might it be possible to have it appraised and notify museums and/or galleries?
Galleries sometimes have rather wealthy patrons who might show an interest.
