专家说明

The elephant has always been an auspicious symbol which is used in numerous rebuses to convey peace, prosperity and good fortune. Compare to three similar elephant groups, illustrated by Yang Boda, et. al., A Romance with Jade: From the De An Tang Collection, Beijing, 2004, pp. 142, 147, and 149, nos. 83, 87 and 89.
