An elephant carrying a vase was a popular subject in the decorative arts because of its auspicious meaning. The words \u201cvase\u201d and \u201celephant\u201d are homonymic with \u201cpeace\u201d and \u201csigns,\u201d thus coinciding with the Chinese proverb, \u201cWhen there is peace, there are signs.\u201d The use of inlaid gems on jade was not a Chinese tradition but was inspired by Mughal jades brought to China from northern India in the eighteenth century. The rubies add not only a bright color but also an exotic appearance.
