History & description
Museum Collection _ Not For Sale
These two Geishas, icons of ancient Japan, emanate an aura of simplicity and beauty. One of them, with a serene smile upon her lips, stands poised with her right hand held gently over her heart, as if in quiet contemplation. Her companion stands beside her, her right hand gently resting on her shoulder, while her left hand hangs loosely by her side. Both are clad in traditional Japanese attire, their delicate silk robes adorned with intricate patterns that blend seamlessly with the fluid lines of their bodies. Simple yet elegant hairpins adorn their coiffed hair, adding to the serene allure of their presence. The beauty of these two figures is a testament to the enduring appeal of Japan's ancient culture, captured forever in the warm, delicate glow of coral.
Coral is believed to possess a range of metaphysical properties, including the ability to bring inner peace, enhance intuition, and facilitate emotional healing. It is thought to promote creativity and enhance intuition, while also providing protection and promoting positive energy. Coral is said to aid in communication, particularly with the spiritual realm, and to encourage a connection with nature. It is also believed to be beneficial for physical health, helping to regulate digestion, improve circulation, and strengthen bones and teeth. Overall, coral is considered a powerful stone for promoting balance, harmony, and well-being in all areas of life.
