What the Elephant in a Filigree Ornament Shows

The elephant’s head and upper body create the rounded form of the ornament. Large ears spread to either side, while filigree patterns decorate the forehead and ears above the visible tusks and trunk. A metal cap and hanging loop sit at the top, and floral branches curl inward from all four corners around the central elephant.

Remarkable Facts About Elephant Trunks and Tusks

An elephant’s trunk combines its nose and upper lip and is used for breathing, smelling, drinking, touching, and grasping. Tusks are enlarged incisor teeth that continue growing through much of an elephant’s life. Elephants can also use their broad ears to release body heat when air moves across the skin and blood vessels.

Real-Life Colors of the Elephant and Ornament

  • Elephant skin: gray, brownish gray, or dusty reddish brown after contact with soil
  • Elephant eyes: dark brown
  • Tusks: ivory white to creamy yellow, often darkening with age or wear
  • Trunk and ears: generally match the body, with pinkish or mottled areas possible on some elephants
  • Metal hanger and floral branches: the hanger is commonly silver, gold, or brass, while living branches are usually green and brown
Questions and answers

Questions and Answers

How can an elephant pick up objects with its trunk?
The trunk contains many muscles and can bend with great precision. Its sensitive tip can grasp food and other objects while also detecting texture and scent.
Do all elephants have visible tusks?
Tusks vary by species, sex, and individual. Some elephants have large visible tusks, some have small ones, and others may have none that can be seen.
Why are elephant ears so large?
Large ears help elephants communicate and can make the animal appear more imposing. Moving the ears also helps release heat from the blood circulating close to their surface.
