Couldn't load pickup availability

The Brass Hollow Bookmark with Elk, Koi Fish, Crane and Nine-Tailed Fox Animal Motif is a page marker cut from gold-toned brass, with a fine lattice openwork panel set with a colored animal figure and finished with a slim chain tassel at the top corner. Slide it between the pages of a paperback or hardcover and let the tassel mark your line; the four motif versions also make it an easy gift for a reader.
Cultural Symbolism & Artistic Design
Koi Fish: In Chinese folk tradition the word for fish sounds like the word for surplus, and the koi has long been regarded as an emblem of perseverance and achievement through the legend of swimming upstream and leaping the Dragon Gate. On this version an orange-red koi arcs between lotus leaves, pink blossoms and stylized blue waves, with a small pagoda rising at its side.
Crane: In Chinese tradition the crane has long been regarded as a symbol of longevity and noble character, often shown in flight among clouds beside classical architecture. Here a white crane spreads its wings beneath a tiled palace roof, framed by layered pink clouds.
Elk / Deer: In Chinese folk belief the deer's name is a homophone for emolument, and deer have traditionally been depicted as gentle companions of longevity and good fortune. This version shows a pale antlered elk carrying a miniature palace on its back, drifting past a golden sun and rose-colored clouds.
Nine-Tailed Fox: The nine-tailed fox appears in early Chinese mythic geography such as the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and in Han dynasty art it was traditionally regarded as an auspicious creature associated with virtue and prosperity. On this bookmark its flowing pink tails sweep across the panel beneath blue-green mountains and red plum blossoms.
Lattice & Cloudwork: The grid openwork behind each figure echoes the window lattices of traditional Chinese buildings, while the drifting layered clouds are a longstanding auspicious decorative motif in Chinese folk art.

Why You'll Love This Bookmark
- The openwork lattice and colored animal figure make the page marker instantly recognizable, so it reads as a deliberate design piece rather than a plain strip of metal.
- Thin brass slides easily between pages and sits nearly flat, while the chain tassel stays visible outside the book.
- Four distinct motifs — elk, koi, crane and nine-tailed fox — make it easy to match the bookmark to a reader's taste or to collect a set.
Care Instructions
- Wipe the brass with a soft, dry cloth after handling.
- Keep it away from prolonged moisture, perfume, lotion and harsh chemicals.
- Store it dry and separately so the openwork edges are not bent by other objects.
- Like other copper alloys, brass develops a soft natural patina with age; polishing with a dry cloth restores some of the original shine.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which animal design will I receive?
This listing carries four motif versions: elk, koi fish, crane, and nine-tailed fox. The version you select is the design that ships, so choose the motif you want at purchase rather than expecting a random one.
Will a metal bookmark damage my book pages?
The flat brass panel is thin enough to slide between pages and sit nearly flush, and the chain tassel hangs outside the book. As with any metal bookmark, handle the openwork edges gently and avoid pressing the cut-out frame into the paper.
How big is the bookmark, and will it fit my books?
The listing gives a size of 10*4cm, measured by hand with a slight deviation. That is a compact footprint suited to most paperback and hardcover pages without protruding far beyond the book's edge.
Does the brass change color over time?
Copper and brass naturally develop a soft patina with handling and exposure to air, which many owners find attractive on decorative metal pieces. Wiping it with a dry soft cloth and storing it dry slows the change and keeps the warm gold tone longer.
Is this a good gift for a reader?
Yes — the distinctive folk-art motifs and visible craftsmanship make it a recognizable gift for book lovers, students, or anyone who marks pages in a novel, journal, or scripture reading copy.
