Portland Oregon’s public art exhibition is always expanding. In 2002 according to the plaque mounted at the foot of this fabulous Bronze Mr. Huo Baozhu of Xi’an China as a gesture of goodwill and as evidence of his believe in the importance of cultural exchanges.
The Sculpture is about 16 times larger than the original Shang Dynasty ( circa 1200-1100 BC ) wine pitcher. It depicts a young elephant standing peacefully on his Father’s back and symbolizes the safe and prosperous offspring.
Da Tung may be translated as ” Universal Peace ” or ” Large Bronze ”. Xi’an Bao Bao means ” Baby Elephant “ This wonderful Bronze is aproximately 10′ tall and 10′ long and may be viewed in one of Portland’s downtown parks. This one is on the Park Blocks in NW Portland’s Pearl District.
