The Ugliest $76,000 Elephant Sculpture You Can Buy

There are three good reasons to purchase this $76,000 statue, available at Vivre -- you want the greenest elephant-man statue out there, the ugliest elephant-man hybrid, and/or the most expensive elephant man. The statue's name: People Belong to Elephant. You'll start to feel that when you get your credit card statement.

The piece stands 31 inches and was created by artist Chen Changwei. It's made from "pate de cristal" which we are fairly certain is not a form of frozen champagne, and that you should probably keep far away from small children and dogs who knock stuff over.

It's based on a symbol of the Chinese Zodiac, and the artist only made eight of them. If you missed out you can still buy the Dog or the Deer, both of which cost a mere $12,500 because neither of those animals has the memory to be capable of buyer's remorse. [via Luxist]
