    Makanudo There is no such thing as simple.Simple is hard.

    How do I verify whats it made of?
    It feels like stone, but is easily scarred (whitish marks), colour loss not dents.
    Is it pottery?
    It is 15x18cm
    Is it just a paper weight?

    It is a nice old elephant. It can stand on its own as well.

    Hi,
    Rub it with a good dark wax shoe polish. It will cover the white spots and give it a protective shine.
