A majestic elephant's powerful tusks are actually teeth made of dentin, not horns or bone. The tusks are essential for everyday living, from digging for water and minerals, to defense and dominance, as well as eating and stripping off bark to reach the soft innards of plants. Keli'i Eli's wonderful 2-piece set consists of a mighty elephant with an eye from inlaid jet. Sculpted from #8 Mine turquoise with lovely golden matrix, the sweet pachyderm is presented on a tusk-inspired base from jet. The elephant is approximately 2" tall, 2 3/4" wide and 1/8" deep, while the tusk base is roughly 3 1/2" long, 1 5/8" wide and 5/8" tall.
