Money-Taoist Pouch Handheld Carving

The rounded form narrows at its gathered top like a tied pouch. The side view shows how the relief wraps around the body.

Sold individually.

Look first at the main motif of the money-pouch handheld carving. Its place in the Daojing collection reflects the use of ornament and inscription to carry a personal intention. Choose the particular design that speaks to the occasion, rather than assuming every motif has the same devotional use.

For a pouch, compare the opening, the body and the way it closes. Choose a size suited to the object you hope to carry; a decorated exterior does not establish the usable internal dimensions or anything supplied inside.
