These are such cute ornaments and nicely made. I love the design and colors. I actually gave them as Christmas gifts. Tied them to the outside of gift bags. The receivers loved them.
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).
