This is the Bronx zoo elephant house. It features a number of splendid carvings like this

Richard, Sadly I might add that some of these beautiful carvings are beginning to show lack of care; one at least has a tusk broken off, and many have green moss growing on them. There is even a lack of respect as when I was there last Aug. one of the rhinos, up by the roof no less, had either a pair of jockey shorts or a T shirt hanging over it.
