You must have been surprised when you walked past. Thanks for sharing your surprise with us.
It reminded me at first of some open-work transoms （欄間彫刻）between two rooms at Nijo Castle in Kyoto. The open spaces are the same on both sides but the designs on each separate side, in each of the two rooms, is different. This isn’t what I was thinking of, exactly, but if you imagine both sides as having completely different designs you could have a kind of sculptural predecessor of your elionaphant.

I looked at your post yesterday too — this is so cool! Strange, but cool! ;)
Interesting view. Very nice!
Amazing what you can see walking around with a camera.
haha, no peeking pls! ^0^
the previous ones were serious, but this one is indeed funny!
Interesting! I'll bet there is a story behind that one.
:)
what an artist done!
why does he/she choose elephant and lion? is there a meaning?
Nice capture, Kaori...

What a challenge to bring these two lifes together - nicely set in scene by your photography. Please have a great Friday.

You did some very good shooting in yesterday's post to conceal the fact that they share the same body!
Does it have some meaning? I would be interested to know!
Thanks for the comments! I thought whoever made this was pretty clever :D
Dindin MK, T. Becque,
I tried to find something about this but I really have no idea why this was made! I'd like to know, too :D
What a cleverly designed statue!
