A huge and whimsical vintage 1990s signed handmade one of a kind carved Bakelite artisan Surfing Elephant brooch pin by American Bakelite artist Gary Paul. Highly detailed three dimensional entirely handmade work of art in Bakelite! Carved and painted marbled blue Bakelite 'elephant' with trunk up for good luck, and standing on a carved red Bakelite 'surf board' with a carved yellow Bakelite 'fin' underneath! Such whimsy, and such attention to detail! In addition, this is a large brooch so will really make a statement when worn! Gary Paul is known for his sense of whimsy and his entirely hand-crafted pieces made from vintage Bakelite parts, and this is an exceptional example of his work. Measures 3-1/8" tall by 2-3/8" widest by 5/8" deep at thickest point. Signed at back as shown, "G. Paul" for contemporary Bakelite artisan and jewelry designer, Gary Paul. Excellent vintage condition.
