The meaning behind this piece
In Chinese, ram (yang) sounds like the word for auspicious, so the ram is a long-standing symbol of good omen and gentleness. 'Leading ram' — the one at the front of the flock — adds the idea of leadership and going ahead of the herd. These are cultural associations, not promises of any result.

At 52 x 30 mm (about 2.0 x 1.2 in) and 61.3 g, this is a compact, easy hand piece that fits neatly in the palm. Ask Yufu Jade to confirm the depth and provide a scale photo.
