Vintage 1980 Hand-Carved Wood Elephant & Tiger Statue - Ohio Political Memorabilia

This dynamic, hand-carved wooden sculpture features an elephant with a raised trunk trampling a large cat (tiger/lion). Beyond its striking wildlife motif, this piece serves as a unique piece of Ohio political history.

Attached to the carved wooden base is a brass presentation plaque that reads: 

-TO- 
BRO. LINDHORST
"MR. REPUBLICAN OF HAM. COUNTY"
- FROM -
CHARLOTTE RUWE & JOE LINK
- 1980 -

Ambrose "Bro" Lindhorst was the prominent head of the Hamilton County Republican Party in Cincinnati, making this elephant carving a literal tribute to the GOP mascot.
