The Chosen: and the elephants went by two by two

After a bit of sound-boarding last evening through the wee hours of this morning this is pretty much the version of the elephant motif which will be stamped along the hemline and up the weft area of the pallu border.

OK I've included the howdah but omitted the umbrella, mahout and whatever else tended to be slapped into the design per period. Balancing out areas of the design is next on the agenda, calculating just how many elephants will cover the dhoti. (I know for a fact that on the weft & pallu border, it will require three between the top of the border at the hem up to the waist edge of the cloth.)
