All auctions / Miscellaneous / Intricately Engraved Mother of Pearl Shell - Exquisite...
A completely engraved large mother of pearl shell, very intricate. The carving into the shell is a group of Japanese KOI fish surrounded by lotus flowers. The shell was engraved by Balinese craftsmen, who have mastered the art of carving. It comes together with its custom-fit stand. Koi fish are a common symbol in both Chinese culture and Feng Shui. Many of the attributes of the Koi symbolize several lessons and even trials individuals often encounter in life. The koi fish has a powerful and energetic life force, demonstrated by its ability to swim against currents and even travel upstream. Some of the characteristics associated with the koi include good fortune, success, prosperity, longevity, courage, ambition, and perseverance.
