Buddha's Hand (citron plant)

There is a peticular type of inedible citron that resembles the classic position of Buddha's hand with the index and little finger pointing upward. The Chinese call this fruit the “Buddha’s hand.” This unusual, inedible fruit is extremely fragrant and often used for ceremonial offerings and scenting rooms.  They are placed in porcelain bowls

It is also symbol for wealth as it gives the impression of a hand grasping for money.

A Buddha’s hand in combination with a peach and pomegranate form a motif known as the “Three Abundances” – blessings of long life and many children.
