Lot 284
A tray in the form of a sole of an elephants foot 15" SOLD £34

The tray is made from a rear foot, which should have 3 toe nails but there are only 2 present. The third one has been missing for a while as, where it should be, has been edged with silver banding. There is more silver banding present but some of it is no longer connected to the tray. The white circle to the centre is actually a small silver coloured disk which does not appear on the underside at all and we have no idea as to why it has been inserted.
