Set of 6 very nice Chinese coasters, with traditional Feng Shui symbolism embroidered on a base of shiny yellow-gold brocade fabric.
Symbols that can be distinguished are for example: * Shou symbol; a traditional Asian symbol representing longevity; a long, vital, happy and healthy life. * Bats; Due to the similarity in pronounciation between the chinese word for 'bat' and the chinese word for 'prosperity', the bat became associated with prosperity, wealth and good fortune. Besides that, they are also associated with different aspects of life; longevity, peace, dignity, good health and a peaceful death. And because of their preference to live in caves (i.e. access portals to the womb of Mother Earth), they are also considered keepers of important knowledge about death and rebirth. * Dragon; regarded as the most potent symbol of yang energy and believed to emit a special form of chi known as “Sheng Chi” (“Celestial Breath”) which attracts wealth, good fortune, abundance and success, the dragon is considered the strongest symbol of good fortune.
These coasters are of course perfect to use in your tea ceremonies, but may also be great to use on your altar (to place your offering bowls on for example).
These square coaster are approximately 11 centimeters long and 11 centimeters wide. Sold per set of 6. Only one set available.
