However, I would assume yours is a large replica, made for decorating houses. His reign-title means "abundance for all", so is considered a "lucky" one to use for Feng Shui purposes. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
