Carved from a piece of fine-grained Sinkiang Hotan/ Hetian Gray Jade Gemstone.The Buddha is holding a pearl of wisdom in his hand. The back is carved with the Money bat keeping lingzhi Fungus, which is the symbol of Eternal Life. A string of cash is linked to the reishi wine. The bat is sort of auspicious animal in China. Bats and gourds were used as subjects for more than 100 patterns because the Chinese words "bat" and "gourd" sound like "good fortune" in Chinese. When a bat was carved on an ancient coin with a hole, it meant that fortune was at hand; bats coupled with birthday peaches referred to fortune and longevity; bats mixed with sika, birthday peaches and magpies were also considered good omens. These beliefs reflected the ancient Chinese people's yearning for a happy life and revealed the essence of China's traditional culture. In Chinese language the word bat is pronounced FU 蝠, and the word happiness is also pronounced FU 福. So people here believe that the bat is a symbol of happiness and it would bring happiness to people who wear it. Bat is also one of the eight auspicious animals in China. TOP DRILLED.
