Found one like yours here:

There are MANY of elephants with tigers and MANY reproductions out there.  However, the style of yours (with tiger in trunk) isn't as plentiful as the tiger on the back, etc...  Japanese in origin.  Originals were typically of the Meiji Period with ivory tusks (You would need to get the ivory verified by a hands-on inspection).  I can't identify the maker's mark on this one...hopefully someone will chime in on it!  Once identified you will get a better idea of value!
