In Chinese lore, the pixiu is a celestial beast charged with guarding wealth. Tradition holds that it gathers riches from every direction and keeps them close, while turning misfortune away. Rendered small, it becomes an easy companion, worn daily rather than saved for occasions. A white bead above keeps the palette soft and pale.
From the Nephrite Collection, symbols of old carried in carved jade.
It fits in the palm, with room left over.
