Dumbo


My apartment always has a musty smell to it, so I'm constantly burning incense and lighting candles to make it a bit more pleasant. I bought this incense holder from Grandma's Attic in Ames, and I love the elephants. Apparently ornamental elephants are supposed to be good luck. Also interesting is the fact that the Hindu god of wisdom and success (Ganesha) is depicted by an elephant's head. I recommend Google-image searching "Ganesha;" you'll see some interesting portraits!
