Golden Arowana Copper Sculpture – “Year After Year Abundance” Chinese Wealth & Prosperity Decor

A striking Golden Arowana copper sculpture inspired by the Chinese expression 年年有餘 (nián nián yǒu yú) — a traditional wish for abundance year after year. The fish is sculpted above flowing wave forms and auspicious coin imagery, creating a richly detailed decorative piece for the home, office or business interior.

Traditional symbolism

Fish imagery has long been associated with abundance in Chinese decorative culture because the word for fish, yú, sounds like the word for surplus or abundance. The arowana is also popularly known as a “dragon fish”, giving the sculpture an especially bold, upward-moving visual character.
