Ger van Oers

Beautifully extra large carved swordfish bill, the base and cracks in the swordfish bill filled with off white epoxy.
A very impressive eye catcher. 

At the heart of Chinese mythology are four spiritual creatures (in Chinese - Sì Shòu, in Japanese - Shishin). Two of the most powerful of the four celestial animals are the dragon and tiger.

The dragon and tiger are the perfect couple in Feng Shui. Dragon is "yang" while Tiger is "yin", and they complement each other in creating yin-yang balance to harvest successful matrimonial bliss. This celestial couple is the symbol of everlasting love and they being together is the ultimate symbol of marital happiness. It symbolizes that the man and spouse will stay together through thick and thin, and that love and passion will last till the end. They ensure that a newlywed couple will be blessed with both patriach and matriach luck, outstanding achievement in life and great fortune and prosperity with many filial offsprings.

APPROXIMATE DIMENSION
The tusk is: 88 cm long

> Resin has been used to fill the swordfish.
