This vintage brass elephant figurine does double duty as sculptural decor and useful barware.
With its raised trunk, curved bottle-opening mouth, and warm aged brass finish, it has that compact mid-century look that feels equally at home on a bar cart, shelf, or tucked into a collection of animal-themed brass pieces.
