This type … more Ceramic altar fruit are replicas of the actual fruit offerings placed on the altar by practitioners of Taoism. This type is called a peach, even though it may not look like an American peach. A grouping of three fruits (with pomegranates and peaches and buddha hands (citron)) known as the "Three Plenties" brings good fortune. The pomegranate, with its many seeds, symbolizes progeny; the peach longevity; and the citron the blessings that bring happiness - whether spiritual blessings or material blessings like cash. 4”W x 3.5”D x 2.5”H. less
