People under pine trees – (9080)
[9080]

Two hand-carved kernels of an unknown fruit with a depiction of people under pine trees. The Pine tree symbolizes Longevity and we assume that the people are Immortals. There is little doubt that there were more beads than these two but we only found two. They date from the end of the Qing period (1644 – 1912) and most probably once formed part of a rosary. Diameter of each bead 1.8 cm.
