Lucky Chinese flower knot charms with "the fruit of buddha" or "buddhas hand". This is a beautifully detailed, and highly symbolic Chinese lucky charm. The hand made flower knots have small beads attached, and the buddha fruit itself is full of colour and detail. Made from faux ivory, these highly decorative Chinese charms are approximately 14cm in length. The Citron is a yellow coloured fruit and it is known as "fruit of buddha" or as "buddhas hand", because of it's unique shape. The shape of the fruits tendrils are said to resemble the image of Buddhas hand, which is why the Chinese name for the Citron literaly translates as "buddhas hand". The Chinese believe that this auspiscious fruit is symbolic of a long and a happy life.
