Pair of Solid Bronze Elephant Bookends

About the Item

Pair of Solid Bronze Elephant bookends. The pair are very handsome and ready to hold some of your heaviest books, at 2.8 pounds each they pack a lot of power. Well suited for any desk, work station, and book shelf. They could also be split and used as paperweights. Elephants never forget and they are treated positively and are sometimes revered as deities, often symbolizing strength and wisdom. Similarly, the African elephant is seen as the wise chief who impartially settles disputes among the forest creatures in African fables, and the Ashanti tradition holds that they are human chiefs from the past.
