==Description==
The bronze sculpture, installed in 2002 at the intersection of Northwest Park Avenue and West Burnside Street in the North Park Blocks, was fabricated by the Five Rings Bronze Foundry in Xi'an, China. It measures x x and depicts a young, smaller elephant on top of an adult, larger elephant.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://racc.org/public-art/search/?page=details&skip=0&sort_pref=sort_title&results_per_page=9&search_title=Da%20Tung%20and%20Xi’an%20Bao%20Bao&search_artist=&search_keyword=&search_other=&search_collection=&search_discipline=&search=Search )〕 The work's name has two parts: "Da Tung", which can be translated as "universal peace" or "large bronze", and "Xi'an Bao Bao", which means "baby elephant".〔
The replica, donated by Huo Baozhu,〔 was inspired by a wine pitcher from the late Shang dynasty (circa 1200–1100 BC) and is approximately sixteen times larger than the original.〔 The elephants are similar in appearance and have their trunks raised. Their surfaces are decorated with small cloud-shaped patterns and animals from ancient Chinese mythology.〔〔
The young elephant stands "peacefully on his father's back", symbolizing "safe and prosperous offspring".〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://culturenow.org/entry&permalink=06432&seo=Da-Tung-and-Xian-Bao-Bao-Universal-Peace-and-Baby-Elephant_Shang-Dynasty-replica-and-City-of-Portland-and-Multnomah-County-Public-Art-Collection-courtesy-of-the-Regional-Arts-Culture-Council )〕 The Regional Arts & Culture Council, which administers the sculpture, described it as: "Playful. Blends into the environment with nods to the diversity in generations, activities and cultures."〔 The piece is part of the City of Portland and Multnomah County Public Art Collection courtesy of the Regional Arts & Culture Council.〔
