About the Item

Hand-crafted from reclaimed wood, this artisanal koi sculpture is a traditional symbol of harmony and luck. For Buddhists, such a fish represents a freedom from all restraints. And because fish are reputed to swim in pairs, two fish paired together become emblem for the joys of union and a harmonious marriage. The fish is sculpted with a squat, rounded body and decorated with colorful pigments in a palette of purple, red and yellow. Set on a custom steel mount, this provincial koi charms with bright color and a beautifully worn texture.
