Mosaic Oshawa 2015 Peony Festival Wedding Desk







                            It is lined with flower sketches from
                         the public domain that were drawn by
                         Wenceslas Hollar in 1662.
                        The Chinese Characters mean Mudan/Peony.
                             It is believed to be The King of Flowers, and
                             symbolizes longevity and prosperity. The desk 
                             is meant to be filled with good wishes and coins
                             for a long and happy marriage.
