About this seller
ProfessionalProduct description
Pair of elephant-shaped bookends with raised trunks, made of metal in the 1980s. Diameter 23 cm, Diameter 21 cm, height 29 cm. The elephant is generally a very positive symbol, associated with luck, wisdom, stability, strength, and longevity. When the trunk is raised, the most common symbolic meaning is:
* **Good Luck/Lucky Charm:** It is widely considered a gesture that brings good fortune and prosperity. For this reason, elephant statues or amulets with their trunks up are often used as good luck charms.
* **Welcome:** It can indicate welcome and hospitality to guests.
* **Accumulation of Wealth:** Although sometimes a trunk curled inwards is more specifically linked to this, a raised trunk is often included in gestures that attract wealth.
In summary, the raised trunk is the most desired position for a lucky elephant, as it symbolizes positive energy rising and being diffused.
