Mother Elephant and Calf Rochard Limoges Box

A mother elephant stands with her calf close at her side, a portrait of protection and family on the open plains. Rochard sculpted the pair as a Limoges box, porcelain painted by hand in Limoges, France.

Gentle Giants

Mother and calf are modeled together as one form, a reminder of the tight family groups elephants keep in the wild. Elephant mothers are famously devoted, and the herd helps raise each young one. Many people also see elephants as symbols of good luck, wisdom and memory, which gives this piece extra meaning.

Herd on the Shelf

• A Rochard wild animal piece, painted in Limoges
• Fits an elephant, safari or animal family collection
• Pairs with giraffe, lion and rhino pieces

Never Forget

Give it at a baby shower, for Mother's Day, or to a new grandmother welcoming a first grandchild. It also suits a safari traveler, an elephant sanctuary supporter, or a friend who collects elephants for good luck. Set it on a nursery dresser, a mantel, or a shelf with other mother and baby animals, where the pair adds warmth and a sense of family to any room.
