I have been doing some research on the symbology of the elements I find recurring in the jewelly I am now making and the charms I am adding to them, my list read: Hand – Power. Creativity. Protective. Blocking.
The fish I found is a symbol of wealth - and why am I not surprised - also of fertility...

The combination struck me as an "offering of bounty" - a good luck (omen?) symbol. Esoteric symbology - thought you might identify correctly...

Looks Indian, the intricate "lace-like" work looks as that of the henna painted on the palms of women for celebrations.
It is solid brass, it feels very nice.

So I still do "really" know...
