Republican Elephant Ornament
by Old World Christmas

From Old World Christmas. The Elephant has been the symbol of the Republican Party since 1874 when political cartoonist Thomas Nast showed an Elephant trampling on inflation and chaos - indicating a party favoring economic conservation and law and order. The Elephant is strong, dignified, and intelligent. This glass elephant ornament has a silvery gray color and is rearing up in defiance, representing the Republican's general demeanor towards politics.
