Chinese carved stone statue depicting koi (carp) fish among lotus leaves, a traditional symbol of abundance, perseverance, harmony, and good fortune in Chinese culture.

This sculpture is carved from translucent green calcite, a decorative stone often sold in the trade as “onyx marble” or alabaster. The material displays natural green and white banding and allows light to pass through, creating a soft glow when backlit.

The carving features layered lotus leaves and rounded fish forms with a smooth polished surface. Compared to many similar decorative carvings, this piece is notably heavy and solid, giving it strong presence as a display object.
