Height 2.5 in., Length 4 in., Width 1.5 in., Weight 6.5 oz. Carved jadeite sculpture depicting an elephant standing with trunk raised, a traditional symbol of strength, wisdom, and good fortune in Chinese culture. The stone exhibits a pale celadon-to-milky green tone with soft translucency and natural tonal variation. The figure is carved in the round, with defined ears, tusks, and stylized anatomical detailing. The underside is pierced near the tail, and a fitted wooden display stand accompanies the sculpture. The polished surface enhances the natural luster of the jadeite. A decorative example of 20th-century Chinese hardstone carving, suitable for collectors of jade carvings and Asian decorative arts.
