Elephants are my favorite animal. I have a dozen elephants in all forms in my apartment. This is one of the best. There is not excessive detail. I would say it is a minimalist object. It holds a lot of meditative spirit. It is something that gradually becomes a favorite.
These elephants and their tapestries are beautifully painted!
I recall my friend from India gave me an elephant decor when I moved away. I certainly can imagine these ornaments as symbolic of carrying one of the "wise men" that Christians celebrate at Epiphany (January 6).
I purchased these statues for my sister who loves elephants. They have become a favorite decoration in her house. The color blends with many decors and the beautiful mother-child dynamic is loved by my niece.
