Hallmarked in Edinburgh in 1997 by Hamilton & Inches, and designed and modelled by Victor Hayton for the World Wildlife Fund, this incredible, Elizabeth II period, Limited Edition Sterling Silver Model of an African Bull Elephant, is cast and chased in intricate detail, and is presented with a framed limited edition lithograph bearing the image of the elephant, signed by the artist and certifying this is model number two of only five cast. This amazing model measures 14.25"(36cm) tall, by 23"(58.5cm) from tail to tusk, by 9"(23cm) across the waist, and weighs a very impressive 444 troy ounces.
This wonderful model was purportedly commissioned in the 1990's by the Duke of Edinburgh on behalf of the World Wildlife Fund. The design and original modelling was undertaken by the artist Victor Hayton, with the casting in silver of only 5 examples executed by the royal silversmiths Hamilton & Inches in Edinburgh in 1997. The framed lithograph, which acts as a certificate of authenticity, is signed by Victor Hayton, and inscribed 'Amboseli, June 1993', referring to the Amboseli National park in Kenya, located roughly 200km south of Nairobi at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro. It would seem likely that Hayton visited the park in 1993, and that the elephant modelled is the famous giant tusker known as Big Tim who sadly passed away in February 2020.
The framed lithograph measures 27.5"(70cm) tall by 20"(51cm) wide.
