Beautifully carved swordfish bill, a very impressive eye-catcher.
The base and cracks in the swordfish bill filled with off white epoxy.

THE STORY
A master craftsman has intricately carved traditional Japanese Koi fish swimming in a pond with lotus flowers into this large swordfish tusk. As you can see, the carving is of extremely high quality and has an immense amount of detail. It could be seen as a type of scrimshaw; the name given to engravings and carvings done in bone or ivory.

KOI FISH
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.

Its placement is said to attract auspicious abundance and prosperity into your home and life, and some opt to have multiple representations of this fish.

The metallic support was broken inside the package and the item itself arrived not matching the image, measures or even weight. I want my money back

Bedankt 😊

The order arrived well packed. Some details were not mentioned by the seller, like some glued parts in the back of the skull. Overall a good purchase, just wished they had been fully transparent
