Dear Anon,

Glad that you have `sharp' eye sight. Frankly, I did not comment on the half fish structure because I wanted to know if anyone would ask about it.

Well, the more important point is the use of the clay (earth) light holders as I mentioned earlier that represents light. In Feng Shui, light is also considered one of the `items' that can aid in enhancing Qi.

Here light is equivalent of water positions like a fountain.

This half fish object can be seen under two context:

1. It is equivalent of the object used to light the clay (earth) light holder.

Here, you understand that symbolic is again very important in Feng Shui. The shiny metallic half fish creature thus symbolise the `activation' of light for the clay light holders.

2. `Scary' creatures are sometimes used by some Feng Shui practioners against poision arrows or `to protect' the residents.

This depends on the FS practioner. Some feel that all this is "rubbish".

In my opinion, Para 1. is a more `objective' way of looking at the object. Para 2 is for those who have `religious' inclinations.

You can also consider it as not necessarily religious but like the Kei Loon object you see in an earlier picture, many objects are used to `guard' the house/gravesite etc...

Many buildings in my country have two huge lions beside the main entrance door as `guardians'.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
