Soapstone Elephant Trunk-Up Votive

Hand-carved from a single piece of Kisii soapstone by African artisans, this elephant votive/tea-light holder is a fun way to add a global touch to your home, office or outdoor space. Elephants are a symbol of strength, and a reminder of support for anyone facing a long, hard journey - for yourself, or your tribe of family or friends. The elephant is carved trunk-up with a star on its back to radiate the light from a candle.
