Description

An elephant toy made of leather with a short trunk and two ears, lined in red wool. Their white and black leather eyes are sewn to their head. It stands on four legs. The body and legs are stuffed with an unknown material. In the past, it likely also had a saddle pad sewn at twelve points onto its back. The holes are all that remain. It also likely had an applied tail, remnants of which can be found in the seat of the elephant. Note: the trunk had split, due to the dryness of the leather. (And play.)
