Wu Lou with Cranes and Deers
This is an eye catching and adorable miniature representation of the auspicious Wu Lou (Gourd or Calabash) with images of cranes and deers embossed on its shiny gold surface. The neck of the Wu Lou is charmingly tied with a red ribbon, believed to be able to further strengthen the Wu Lou's properties.
The Wu Lou, often associated with Sau, the longevity God, is a well-known symbol of good health and longevity. It is said to contain the nectar of immortality and has the power to absorb the sickness energy, storing it in its endless bottom in order not to let the sickness chi hurt you.
The Bird of Immortality, the graceful crane is a very popular and extremely auspicious symbol that heralds longevity, marital harmony and wisdom. The crane is the most favored of all bird symbols of good fortune next to the phoenix. Like mandarin ducks, two cranes depicted together suggests an everlasting love and a blissful marriage
Deer are graceful, lovely creatures that are thought of as symbols of longevity and prosperity in Chinese culture. Deers displayed in a business signify a company that will grow and prosper for many years whilst in the home they represent a beneficial, prosperous, and comfortable life for the family. No wonder the Chinese named the deer "Luk" which means wealth and prosperity.
The Wu Lou with Cranes and Deers is thus not only a health enhancer but a wealth related one as well. Together, these three symbols of longevity, healing and prosperity will protect you against illness and bad luck, ensuring a long, healthy and prosperous life.
