Elephant by place in the cup
An elephant at the rim points to luck that arrives unhurried and has already set off toward you. Closer to the bottom it is an old support or a foundation laid down long ago to last. By the handle the elephant is your own steadiness and patience, on the far side it is a dependable person near you. A large clear elephant carries more weight than a small smudged one.
