The bottom of seas and oceans conceals a multitude of secrets of fabulous treasures lost with the sunken ships. It’s even hard to imagine how many antique Spanish jugs which transported gold treasures of the New World, sand on their way home. But a fish in a picture couldn’t reveal the secrets of hidden American gold. Clad in heavy armor or coins instead of scales, it sank to the bottom too. We see the fish lying beside a jug with precious coins covered with gold sand….

Though separately, these three things are used as symbols of wealth in many cultures, together they are especially characteristic of the worship of wealth in Old China. One of the attributes of the Chinese God of Wealth was a magic vessel, capable of multiplying gold. Sea dragons – the most popular personage of Chinese mythology – are said to have palaces full of gold and jewels
at the bottom.
