Found on the choir stalls in Chester Cathedral.

The carver was given some description of an elephant, but never seen one but told it was much larger than a horse . . . .

I was told of the tale that when it was been shown to a young girl, she retorted "Why didn't he go to Chester zoo!"

1/13th at iso 6400 . . . . not the brightest area in the Cathedral . . the flash version looks harsh.
