Inscription: CARPE DIEM
First version with a more solid water background and holes at the top.
In Chinese culture statues and pictures of the koi or carp fish are thought to bring good fortune: wealth, prosperity and luck to the home or business. In Japan koi means love or affection and so is a symbol of love and friendship. The classical Roman poet Horace wrote in his lyric poem the famous phrase ‘Carpe Diem’ usually translated as ‘seize the day’.
Fixing Points: two holes at the top of the tile
Dimensions: 10.5cm x 10.8cm
