Description

The Kariba is a 31.5cm cast aluminium elephant figurine presenting as a sculpted elephant head with trunk, ears and tusks on a circular base. The casting is finished in antique nickel, giving a dark grey-silver metallic surface with a low-lustre patina that softens reflections under room lighting. The trunk shows horizontal ribbing detail that follows the natural segmentation of an elephant's trunk, and the ears are formed as separate flared planes extending from the head.

Designed as a shelf or sideboard accent, the Kariba suits contemporary and industrial interiors where animal-form sculpture sits alongside books, ceramics and other decorative objects. The 16.5cm depth from trunk tip to ear back means the piece needs space to be viewed from the front rather than being pushed against a wall. The 1.3kg weight gives the figurine stability on flat surfaces without needing adhesive or additional fixing.

The aluminium casting technique allows fine detail in the trunk ribbing and ear texture while keeping the overall weight low compared to solid brass or resin equivalents. The antique nickel finish is applied after casting and varies slightly between pieces depending on how the patina develops during finishing, so some figurines show darker tones in the recesses of the trunk detail while others present more uniformly. The circular base provides a stable footprint and lifts the elephant head to display height on low furniture.

Frequently Asked

What is the figurine made from?

The Kariba is cast from aluminium and finished with an antique nickel surface treatment. This gives a metallic grey appearance with a low-lustre patina rather than a polished mirror finish.

Does the finish vary between pieces?

Yes. The antique nickel patina develops differently during finishing, so some pieces show darker tones in the recesses of the trunk and ear detail while others present more uniformly across the surface. This variation is characteristic of the finishing process.

How is the figurine cleaned?

Wipe with a dry or barely-damp soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, metal polishes or soaking, as these can strip the antique finish and leave the aluminium looking bright and raw.

Can it be used outdoors?

The Kariba is designed for indoor use. Aluminium is corrosion-resistant, but the antique nickel finish may degrade under sustained outdoor exposure to UV and moisture.
