My wife's elephant collection.

My wife doesn't like the 'eat an elephant' saying, because she collects elephants.

We have a display in our kitchen, and anyone in the family who visits an elephant-based country knows to bring a small model back for her.

Her conditions: it has to have the trunk raised. That's a good luck attitude. And it has to be hand carved, not mass produced, and not doing any crazy tricks like standing on one leg.

She is very sensitive to the plight of these magnificent creatures.
