(6) Donald Polland for Franklin Mint Bronze African Animal Figurines. Lot comprised of six figurines depicting African animals, including cheetah, lion, giraffe, rhino, gazelle, and elephant.
The Franklin Mint collection of African animals was a series of highly detailed, limited-edition sculptures produced during the late 20th century, showcasing the continent’s rich and diverse wildlife. Crafted from materials such as fine porcelain, pewter, or hand-painted resins, each figure depicted iconic species like elephants, lions, giraffes, and rhinoceroses with lifelike textures and dynamic poses. These collectibles were often released in collaboration with wildlife organizations or inspired by conservation efforts, appealing to both nature enthusiasts and art collectors. Displayed on wooden bases or as standalone pieces, the collection was notable for its craftsmanship and educational value, celebrating the majesty of African fauna while reflecting a broader cultural fascination with exotic and endangered species.
Size: 5 x 2 1/2 x 5 1/2 in.
