It may have been, in fact, fate that has brought that item to you! You see, that ship is symbolic of a Wealth Ship that is utilized by many Asian homes & businesses and is always shown in homes that practice Feng Shui. My wife is a practicing student of Lillian Too's Feng Shui teachings and here is a bit of info for you on your 'find': In both Feng Shui and Asian Folklore, a sailing ship is rated second to the dragon as the most popular symbol of prosperity. The symbolism of the sails catching the wind is very good luck. The sailing ship is probably one of the best Feng Shui enhancers to have in your office and home if you want to increase your personal wealth, especially if you are an aspiring entrepreneur or business person. Since having a dragon in itself is very good luck, combining the dragon along with a sailing ship is 'doubly' auspicious! Traditionally, wealth ships are shown with gold ingots, coins, real money, or anything that symbolizes a bright, wealthy future, including precious stones (thus the light-up marbles symbolizing bright, wealthy "precious stones"). The idea is to suggest a ship loaded with rich and abundant cargo. Wealth ships should never be the kind of ship that has cannons or guns, but rather a cargo ship full of wealthy cargo. An additional auspicious addition is if the ship is made with the least amount of nails, preferably with none at all! Be sure to place this ship either at the inside of your front door, or inside the front door of your office (or home office), and most importantly face the ship IN towards the room, never outward towards the door! This ensures wealth & abundance into your home rather than money going "out". (Sidenote: those of you that have the carved, framed Witco ships can do the same thing, just add symbolic Asian coins, gold coins, stones or anything symbolizing wealth). I hope this helps you. Check the wiring, and light that baby up! As I say to shopkeepers of antique stores when they ask me "Can I help you find anything?". I tell them "No thanks, I'll let it find me". It found you, so utilize this find! SCD
