Shop our selection of Elephant Statues .
Perhaps
no other animal is as glorified in the East as
the Elephant. Consequently, elephant statues and
sculpture play a significant role in Asian décor.
As the largest creature to walk the earth, the
elephant is seen as a symbol of strength and power.
It is an extremely hard working animal that is
revered in countries like Thailand that have made
it one of their national symbols. Unlike many
members of the animal kingdom, the elephant is
blessed with super intelligence and a very long
life span. Because of this, it has become a symbol
for wisdom and dignity.
In the East, the elephant was historically used
to carry princes and noblemen and became associated
with status and foresight. Many elephant statues,
therefore take on a very royal flare. In Buddhism,
the white elephant symbolizes patience and wisdom
while the Chinese see the elephant as a symbol
of energy, strength, and power. Even in the US,
the elephant can take on some unique symbolism
as the symbol for the Republican party.
Elephant statues are often viewed as a source
of luck and good fortune especially those with
raised trunks.
Statue.com is proud to offer an extensive line
of elephant statues in our Elephant, Rhinos, and
Hippos Gallery.
