This small metal figurine resembles the decorative scale weights used throughout the Qing dynasty to parcel out spices, opium, or other lightweight goods on tabletop balances. The petite figure is cast in the form of a saddled elephant, a symbol of strength and bearer of good fortune. Likely intended as a decorative keepsake, the tiny elephant makes for a charming gift or token of strength.

Elizabeth Krueger | Elizabeth Krueger Design

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
