About it
A carved wooden elephant, the kind of figure woodcarvers have made for a very long time, shaped by hand with knives and chisels. Elephants are the largest animals on land. Their trunk is a nose and an upper lip joined together, strong enough to lift a log and gentle enough to pick up a single peanut.
Tap it and the trunk uncurls straight up to trumpet with a few toots, then curls back down while the elephant rocks on its feet. An elephant's trunk has no bones at all, but tens of thousands of muscle bundles.
