Six-tusked White Elephant

Samantabhadra rides on the six-tusked white elephant.

Six-tusked White Elephant (六牙白象) is the mount of bodhisattva Samantabhadra (普賢菩薩). As its name suggests, this white elephant traditionally has three pairs of tusks, though in artistic representations, it is sometimes depicted with only one pair of tusks. Additionally, variations include depictions of a three-headed elephant or Samantabhadra riding on a four-headed white elephant.[1]
