Description
Elephants are an important cultural icon in India. According to Indian mythology, the gods (deva) and the demons (asura) churned the oceans in a search for the elixir of life - 'amrit' (nectar) - so that they would become immortal. As they did so, the 'navratnas' (nine jewels) surfaced, one of which was the elephant.
Consequently, the elephant is extremely valuable, and therefore must be treasured, preserved and protected, just as a jewel would be.
Bought in India.
