Decorated Indian Elephant With Patterned Blanket and Tassels

A young elephant stands in side view, facing right, with its trunk curled up into a spiral at the tip. A small leafy sprig is tucked into the curl. A large blanket covers its back, with a flower and star design in the center, rows of round mirror-style medallions down the sides, and a fringe of dangling tassels along the bottom edge. More tassels hang from a trim near the belly, and a band of patterned trim runs over the hip. The head wears a decorated cap with a jewel-like shape on top and small flower motifs on the forehead. A collar sits at the base of the trunk, and bands circle the ankles above the toenails. The tail is long and thin. For coloring, try bold jewel tones on the blanket and a soft gray or sandy shade for the skin. Kids who like tiny details can use fine markers on the medallions and star shapes.
