Subject:minature ivory elephants in coffee bean
Posted By: christy cook Tue, Jul 17, 2007 IP: 68.79.8.87 I have a very old piece of art that no one seems to know anything about. It is a ivory carving of minature elephants that fit into a hollow coffee bean with a carving of an elephant as the top holding it together. Does this sound like anything anyone has seen before? Please help me to identify this. Thanks, Christy

Posted By: Eric Sun, Jul 29, 2007 I have one of these, too. My father brought it back from Thailand, many years ago. The more tiny elephants in it, the more luck it brings. Or so they say.

Posted By: christy cook Tue, Jul 31, 2007 Do you know any other history about this? I can not find anything anywhere about it. I have looked numerous places and have even brought it to a museum and can not get any answers.
