**Capricorn Fish**

With the head of a dragon and the body of a fish, this ancient mythical beast is also known as Makara.

In Indian mythology, it is the steed of the water god, which is why it has a fish-like body. The fish maiden is derived from Capricorn.

Originally a divine creature of the sea, it was guided by Shakyamuni Buddha to abandon evil and embrace good, thereby becoming a revered being.

For centuries, it has provided protection and ensured peace.

Its motifs are often found on gold, silver, and jade artifacts throughout various dynasties, symbolizing guardianship and good fortune.

Accompanied by young boys, it signifies the hope for one’s child to achieve greatness.
