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 small and lovely little crosses and found that I liked them even more than I thought I would. I shared them with a friend who was retiring as a small gift.
These ornaments were so well made and unique that I gave one at a time as a gift wrap topper. Not only did they really enhance my packages, but the recipients loved them as well!
