Toy elephants
The elephant’s body, tail and legs are made up of four pieces that were cut from tin containers and soldered together. The tinplate ears were soldered from separate pieces, and the elephant also has bent metal spikes attached by soldering as tusks. The materials are from Bayer’s Baygon insecticide container and an Abro spray paint can, and the colours are red, green, black and white as well as blue, green, red, black and white.
