1.) “…She must have had the value of several elephant tusks upon her…” (Conrad 79)
Elephant tusks are made of ivory which makes them very, very valuable which causes poachers to kill thousands of elephants to obtain their ivory. When Conrad said that she looked as though she had several elephant tusks upon her it was not meant in the literal sense but in the sense that she was wearing very fine jewelry that must have been very expensive.
