Charming enamelled silver fish, probably carp, with an articulated body on a hanging chain.
In Chinese culture fish are considered a symbol of luck in several ways. Since the Chinese pronunciation of fish is the same as that of another word meaning abundance, fish are often used as a sign of wealth and prosperity. Fish also symbolise harmony, marital happiness and reproduction because they multiply rapidly and sometimes swim in pair.
