It originates from Japan's "Kumiko" (組子細工), a masterful woodworking technique, and was also very common in early Taiwanese architecture, particularly in the Lukang area. Origin and Meaning of the Seven Treasures Motif The Seven Treasures motif, as the name suggests, is related to the "Seven Treasures" in Buddhism, representing seven precious Buddhist treasures such as gold, silver, and lapis lazuli. This pattern is formed by overlapping circles or squares, creating a continuous, interconnected design. Therefore, the Seven Treasures motif carries auspicious meanings in culture: Abundant Wealth: The continuous circular shapes symbolize unending financial resources and prosperity. Good Fortune: Each circle represents completeness, and multiple overlapping circles signify multiple blessings and good luck. Family Harmony: Interlocking circles also symbolize the close bonds and harmony among family members. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54717464512_80c66d76f6_b.jpg The Beauty of Craftsmanship The most astonishing aspect of the Seven Treasures window grille lies in its exquisite craftsmanship.

The dimensions of each wooden strip are precisely calculated to ensure a perfect fit, forming intricate and beautiful geometric patterns. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54718630860_dd45a1909c_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54717464517_e46c291bae_b.jpg Product Dimensions https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54719373251_8f158c7ed1_b.jpg Material Description 1.
