These are adorable. The skin color on the set I received was darker than I expected, so the gift went to a different friend than originally intended. Jose's work never disappoints. I have purchased many ornaments to give as gifts.
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.
