Show AFRICAN ELEPHANTS MAY BE EXTINCT BY THE YEAR 2000. On the African plain, an elephantcalf sits up to see the world. Still very young, it is already part of a society surprisingly similar to our own. Elephants have long childhoods, strong family ties, and the potential of living 60 years. But sadly, today, only one in five African Elephantslives past its 30th birthday. Elephants’ lives are constantly lost to illegal hunting and shrinking habitats. Andif the present rate of decimation continues, African Elephants could be all but extinct by the mid-1990s. To raise awareness of the African Elephant'’s plight, Lenox has created a new porcelain sculpture, African ElephantCalf. Created under the supervision of Smithsonian specialists. This engaging portrayal of an elephantcalf is exactingly sculpted under the supervision of specialists at the Smithsonian's National Zoological Park in Washington, D.C. Both the Smithsonian and its National Zoological Park are leaders in conservation efforts worldwide. Intricate handcrafting has recreated every detail of the elephant, from therich textureofits wrinkled hide, to the folds of its ears. The subtle skin shades are rendered with skillful hand painting. And the result is a work with such a sense of vitality, you can almost imagine the calf usingits curl of a trunk to pick some tender shoots, or to take a cooling showerbath. A sculpture you can take pride in displaying. FO 1 African Elephant Calf will bear both the Lenox® trademark and the Smithsonian emblem. You can display it with pride as a symbolof hope for the magnificent African Elephant, the largest animal on land.
