Description
This resin money box takes the form of a seated grey elephant with its trunk raised high, perched on a brown tree stump that serves as its base. We love the friendly face, with a bright eye and a wide smile tucked under the trunk, the big rounded ears and the tiny tuft on top of the head. Swirl marks on the legs, cream toes and pale soles on the outstretched feet add a gentle storybook charm, and a short tail with a dark tip finishes the back. It stands 12.7cm tall, 9.5cm wide and 9.5cm deep, a neat size that fits easily on a crowded shelf.
It is happy on a bookshelf, a bedside table, a chest of drawers or a windowsill, where the soft grey and warm brown sit easily alongside pale walls and natural wood. As a money box it gives spare coins a home. The coin slot sits in the elephant's back, so the smiling face stays turned to the room while the coins go in from behind. It makes a thoughtful gift for anyone fond of elephants, and it earns its place as a decorative piece too.
The whole piece is made from resin, with the bark of the stump given a deep, rough texture that sets off the smoother, lightly mottled finish of the elephant. Small feet beneath the stump lift the base clear of the surface it stands on. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth. When needed, wipe it with a slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away, and keep harsh cleaners away from the finish. For a gift, we like to drop a few coins inside before wrapping it, so it rattles the moment it comes out of the paper.
