what is it?

looking for a bit of help.


i picked up an item at an antique shop. the item had a label reading "feng shui compass", but the item contains nothing that resembles [to me] a feng shui compass. the item has a compartment that opens to where something may be placed, which leads me to believe it just may be just a simple incense burner, but i'm totally confused about characters carved on the top and sides of the item.


any help would be much appreciated, as i have been searching for answers everywhere.


thank you.

If it is a compass, it will at least have a compass in the center. As you mentioned it opens up to be empty. Thus, no likely. The incense you mentioned could be a possiblity or simply a storage ornament.


As for the words. It is not clearly written. But it is actually Ru Yi (left)andJi Xiang (right).


Ru Yi = satisfactory or getting as one wishes


Ji Xiang = auspicious


the rest seems like drawng of chinese picture with a child like wealth and happiness (I think).


Basically, it is just a nice chinese ornament at this point with auspicious word or picture drawn.


Hope that helps.


Warmest Regards
