A gourd that gathers heavenly waters and a treasure bottle of a hundred blessings—nature’s born magnet for wealth. The gourd’s small mouth and full belly embody its money-drawing power. Only Zhu Bingren’s molten copper art can portray waves with such vivid dynamism. In Taoism, the gourd tops the list of auspicious symbols. It holds the “mystic” in “mysticism”—“the gate to all marvels.” It absorbs wealth from all directions and opens the door to abundance.
