Korean lore: Traditionally, seeing an elephant with damaged tusks has sometimes been interpreted as a sign of weakening strength or authority. It can also be viewed as a process of sorting through what was lost and finding a new balance. (This interpretation comes from folk symbolism that compares tusks to an elephant’s strength and dignity.)
