Beautifully carved Two Gold Fish BEADS
Koi or more specifically jinli in Mandarin Chinese or nishikigoi, are colored varieties of the Amur carp that are kept for decorative purposes in outdoor koi ponds, water gardens or aquariums.
This is for two amazing carved Bone Beads.
The material comes from domestic cow or buffalo bone; both are used as draft animals (for example, to plow muddy rice paddies) and are consumed as food. They are highly valued and are not dispatched only for their horns or bones; these have an incredibly small value compared with that of a living animal. Water buffalo horn and bone are obtained after death, and since the cultures from which they are attained believe in utilizing the whole animal, nothing goes to waste, and thus the animal is honored more fully.
