    Completely engraved large mother of pearl shell, very intricate. A master craftsman has intricately carved a Phoenix, Tortoise and Snake into this large shell. At the heart of Chinese mythology are four spiritual creatures (in Chinese - Sì Shòu, in Japanese - Shishin). The Phoenix represents the South and summer and symbolizes life, fame and fortune. It also stands for rebirth, success, recognition, and new opportunities. It is located in front of the house, and protects home from negative external influences. This ethereal creature can be represented by a low fence, an open space, or a mound in front of the house. Since the Phoenix is associated with red color, adding more red to the area around the front door will reinforce the energy of this Feng Shui animal. Or better yet, showcase a beautiful representation of this celestial bird in this sector. The Turtle represents the North and winter and symbolizes longevity, strength, endurance, support and stability. It protects home from everything negative. It is located behind the house, and can be represented by a flat hill, or some other solid structure. This Feng Shui animal provides luck, and is responsible for the success of the home owner.
