Chinese necklace

Contributed by BBC Radio Solent

Chinese necklace made of carved peach stones showing different Gods. This necklace was brought home as a gift to my mother by my father serving in the Navy in China. I have been told it is made of peach stones. One of the stone Gods is holding a poem representing the God of Poetry.
