The symbol of an elephant in any space is meant to bring protection, wisdom and fertility, with the elephant’s trunk having a complex language of its own. The friendly elephant illustration with its trunk facing upwards on this small elephant zip purse denotes good luck. A delightful gift and perfect size for loose change. 9 x 1 x 7cm Made for Namaste on a fair trade basis by a small family firm in Kolkata. The business employs 25 workers, 20 in the main workshop and 15 home workers who find the work a useful income supplement while allowing them to attend to the needs of their families. The home workers are mainly ladies who carry out the hand painting work. This extra income enables the artisans to become more self-sufficient and independent.
