"My girlfriend loves elephants"
My girlfriend and I traveled to Thailand several years ago. She and I both were in awe of the elephants. She loves these hand caved elephants. You just want to put your hands on them.

"Grounding Piece for My Ecletic Bathroom"
This handsome elephant mask balances out all of the bright colors of the Latincan American art I have. My roomate attached the tusks and we hung it over the light fixture to gaze out over his domain.

"Not what I expected"
I know every carving is different and not going match the picture.But the one I got was painted solid, cant see any grain. And it feels light and plastic. I was expecting a bit heavier and I did weight it and it was only about 0.1LB lighter than the listed weight.This is first item I ever returned with probably 30+ orders.I did have to say overall the price on Novica is getting a little out the hand, the full price must have gone up 25-50% over the last 3-4 years. Not sure all that increase benefits the artisans or the Novica staff...
