Legend has it that the Two Immortals of Harmony, also known as the Two Saints of Harmony, are in charge of happy marriages of people on earth. The two characters in this piece are quite likable with big smiles on face, one holding a lotus blossom while the other with a round case, both of which are their signature magical belongings signifying “harmony” and “accord” based on the homonym of “lotus” and “harmony” as well as “box” and “accord” in the Chinese language.
