Here's what I found about cranes
Crane (t: ?: s: ? - hè) - longevity (four colours: black, blue, white, yellow), next to the phoenix the second most important winged animal (note: spirits can ride on a crane)
crane, among clouds - wisdom, nobility
crane, black - longest longevity
crane, pair of - long marriage, ultimate longevity
crane, pine trees - determination, power, wealth
Since my crane is just preening itself, maybe that's a sign to take care of oneself to live a long life
On the other side is a parrot
Parrot (?? - y?ngw?) - warning to stay faithful in relationship
Interesting combination!
---and to think that they actually impart wisdom as well as beautify your surroundings!
I could use some wisdom PostCardCollector!
Tis very lovely, fabulous!!
Thanks Sean68 and Nicefice!
How long is that?Snuffs are typically squat and round to get a pinch-- If it looks like a snuff box decoration but too long and narrow--it may be an extra fancy opium bottle. Depends on size
