Sculptures of cute elephants gathered at various locations around Old Spitalfields Market. "The Orphans" consists of a total of 21 elephants: a mother cow and 20 young orphans. The aim is to raise awareness of these endangered animals and protect them for the long term. Each sculpture has a plaque on the base explaining its background and linking to the corresponding website.
