At 5.3 grams this is the heavyweight of our safari animals, appropriately enough, and the 3/4" by 1/2" casting puts the bulk exactly where it belongs: a round barrel of a body on short, sturdy legs, with the broad muzzle that conceals a famously enormous jaw. It is solid .925 sterling silver, lost-wax cast, made in the USA, and polished by hand.
The living original weighs up to 4,000 pounds and still manages 19 mph at a run — third-largest land mammal on earth, and quicker than anyone expects. Your recipient will recite these facts unprompted. On a bracelet the charm's mass gives it a satisfying swing; on a necklace it hangs with real presence. Jump ring already attached.
A substantial subject honored in substantial silver, at a far friendlier scale.
