Elk, Bronze sculpture in Portland, United States.
The bronze elk sculpture stands on a granite base featuring water fountains for horses at street level and incorporates detailed anatomical features of the animal.
Roland Hinton Perry created this bronze sculpture in 1900 as part of a series of public works commissioned to enhance Portland's municipal infrastructure.
The elk sculpture represents the connection between Portland's urban development and the natural wildlife that inhabited the region before settlement.
Located at Southwest Main Street between 3rd and 4th Avenues, the sculpture provides a central meeting point for downtown pedestrians and guided tours.
The sculpture includes drinking troughs at its base, originally designed for horses but now serving as a water feature in the downtown landscape.
