Posted By: rat Tue, Jun 23, 2015 the base is carved with 福, "fu" in Chinese, which means "good fortune". The side is carved with 馬 , which means "horse"--perhaps this was purchased by someone born in that year of the zodiac.

Posted By: mikeoz Thu, Jun 25, 2015 The animal on the top will also be a horse. This is from a set of twelve stones, each carved with an animal from the zodiac.
