Description:This antique brown water buffalo skull has been intricately carved by a Balinese artisan whose craft has been passed down through generations—working in bone, wood, stone, and coconut shell. The skull is completely carved open, showcasing exceptional skill and patience in every detail. The design is inspired by Chinese mythology’s four spiritual creatures (Sì Shòu in Chinese, Shishin in Japanese). Two of the most powerful among the - the dragon and the phoeni - are featured here. In Feng Shui, the dragon represents yang and the phoenix represents yin; together they form the perfect balance. This celestial pair is a timeless symbol of everlasting love, harmony, and marital happiness. They represent a couple standing together through thick and thin, with love and passion that endure. Traditionally, the dragon and phoenix are believed to bless a union with balance, success, prosperity, and a flourishing family life.
