Elefant, Handmade Sculpture out of Recycled Bicycle Tubes

Elefant Sculpture – Handmade from Recycled Bicycle Tires (2020)

About the Piece

This handmade sculpture captures Elefant, the iconic character from the beloved German children's TV show Sendung mit der Maus and its own spin-off Sendung mit dem Elefanten. As a close friend of Maus, Elefant is known for his playful, curious, and strong nature. Smaller than Maus, he is easily recognized by his blue body and yellow toenails. Often spontaneous and loyal, Elefant is a fan-favorite loved by both children and adults.
