Elephants are traditionally known for being symbols of luck, protection, and wisdom. They are especially auspicious when depicted with a raised trunk, which symbolizes the showering of good luck. These fair trade elephant prosperity totas are hand stitched, stuffed, beaded and strung together by women artisans in the small village of Chota Narena, in northern India.

As their name suggests and belief has it, totas bring prosperity and good luck when hung in a doorway or window. These traditional art pieces have been a symbol in Indian homes for generations; consider bringing their positive energy into your home as well.
