Stunning swordfish tusk with hand engraved Japanese koi
Title: Stunning swordfish tusk with hand engraved Japanese koi Maker: Design: Jake Richmond Origin: Indonesia Date/Period: 2019 Materials: Bone, Wood Dimensions: Height 91cm / 35.8 inches
Completely engraved large swordfish tusk, very intricate. The carving onto the tusk is a group of Japanese KOI fish surrounded by lotus flowers. The design is made by designer Jake Richmond from the Sooka Collective and has been carved by Balinese craftsmen, who have mastered the art of carving. The shell comes including a black metal stand. The fish symbol has long been associated with abundance and wealth in feng shui. Some of the characteristics associated with the koi include: Good fortune, Success, Prosperity, Longevity, Courage, Ambition and Perseverance. Many of the above described symbolic meanings of koi fish stem from the Chinese legend of the Dragon Gate in which a koi fish swam upstream, through waterfalls and other obstacles to reach the top of the mountain. At the top of the mountain was the "Dragon Gate". The legend says that when the koi finally reached the top, it became a dragon, one of the most auspicious creatures in Chinese culture.
