Carved from a greenish-white block of jade, this round sculpture is partially covered in brown spots.

Hung over its back is a saddle, which is decorated with the traditional five bat patterns, which serve as symbols for longevity. A Hu man stands beside the elephant, holding a precious vase containing ganoderma branches decorated with jewels - a token of peace and prosperity. This large jade elephant exudes an aura of magnificence, making it an ideal decorative item for homes.
