My SO bought me this beautiful stone globe years ago, but the stand it came with was a really cheesy gold, so when we packed for the move we got rid of the stand.
It’s a simple cross connection, and the elephant is from a drawing found online - I took a copy of the drawing and filled it entirely in black, then traced that to get a vector outline - detached the bit that crossed the back so I could score that instead of cutting, and finished with a tung oil/mineral spirit mix.
