LOT NOTES:

The elephant is sometimes shown carrying a "treasure" vase (bao ping) on its back. Since the word "vase" (ping ) has the same pronunciation as the word for "peace" (Ping'an ), the implied meaning is "may you have 'good luck' (elephant) and 'peace' (vase)". In Chinese art, the elephant is a symbol of wisdom and strength. Elephant is also considered as a sacred animal in Buddhist traditions. Buddha is often depicted riding an elephant. This magnificent creatures are also regarded as auspicious figures in Thailand.

The word for elephant in Chinese is written and pronounced the same as the Chinese word for 'sign' or 'things to come' therefore people like to pairing elephants with certain symbols to create a kind of pun. People also use a stone elephant to emphasize the concept of power or strength while an elephant with a vase is interpreted as a sign of peaceful times. In Chinese, the words for 'vase' and 'peace' have close pronunciations. Elephants carrying vases on their backs were featured in parades to celebrate the Emperor's birthday during the Qing dynasty.

reference: Placing a pair of elephants or an elephant at the front door is believed to bring good luck, strength and protection to the household. Sometimes these elephants are referred to as elephants of many blessings. Feng Shui experts suggest that the feng shui elephant should have its trunk facing upwards as that represents victory, good luck and prosperity. Some people believe that elephant with its trunk facing downward represent conception and longevity.

An elephant or a pair of elephants displayed in your bedroom helps to promote faithfulness and love between two people. In order to enhance the love between couples, the statues can be placed in a study or office. For those who want to have child or more children you can place elephant statues in your bedroom, beside your bed or close to your bedroom entrance leading towards the bedroom. A statue or a group of seven elephants can be used in the bedroom as that symbolizes fertility and the number seven represents children in feng shui. Buddha's mother dream about white elephant and got pregnant after that. Elephant of white color is the purest of all form, it is believed by many people to be the incarnation of future Buddha.
Place an elephant statue in your child's bedroom, on the desk, or wherever she or he does homework in order to bring knowledge and academic success.
