Elephant (sculpture)

The Elephant (Polish: Słoń; German: Elefant) is a concrete sculpture in Szczecin, Poland, made in 1934 by Kurt Schwerdtfeger.

The Elephant was sculptured in 1934 by Kurt Schwerdtfeger as the main element of a small fountain at the intersection of Poznańska and Szczecińska Streets.

[3] Later, its bassin was filled up with sand, and eventually deconstructed in 2004, being replaced with a grass lawn.

[1][2] While there have been calls to restore the fountain, it was decided against, as water could damage ageing and deteriorating sculpture.

[1] The sculpture is made from concrete, and depicts a small elephant, with its trunk elevated above its head, and curled to the back.
