I carved the Year of the Horse (Uma) for the year Reiwa 8 (2026) from holy Palo Santo wood. It's a protective charm, just the upper part of the horse (U dake = excluding the "ma"). Onyx, a natural gemstone, is set in the eyes. Dimensions: 38mm x 23mm ⚫︎ Uma (Year 8 of Reiwa) The horse is a symbol of strength, dynamism, success, and progress. It helps people and is known as a lucky animal that brings good fortune, from the pun "umaku iku" (to go well). ● Onyx (Black Agate) It represents unwavering belief and is said to support the achievement of goals. ● Palo Santo (Holy Wood) It is said to ward off evil and gather good things. It is also called (Holy Wood) and (The Wood that Brings Happiness). Due to the Washington Convention, export is restricted, and it has become very expensive.
