Hi Ray,
very interesting 1!
I have seen many elephants, but not like this.
Can you post more photos of it?
The aventurine and multi-colors is very reminiscent of the Oriente series.
I have seen both fish and birds in the Oriente style, but no Elephants, and also there are none of those in his book.
Im sure there must be other designs and figures out there that arent documented.
I say more photos! so we can see the details of it.

here we go Javier, the pontil mark is where the tail was added on, and the eyes are pieces of glass cane
