Symbol of peace and harmony.

This is called BI NKA BI, "No one should bite the other." This symbol cautions against provocation and strife. The image is based on two fish biting each other's tails. I can't see that myself. Can you? Here is the image:

Don't peek at the other images on this site, or you will spoil your enjoyment of the rest of this series.

Fun puzzle. Thanks for remembering to post it.

I can see 2 fish "joined" at the tail, but not "biting" each other's tails.

Thanks, Adam.

Here's the image. I can't visualize the biting either.

Oh oh, I'm letting my ADHD show. Time for another cup of coffee to get my brain working again. :-)

Another lovely puzzle. I also can't see the biting, but the sentiment is a good one!

Thanks, Telly and Sallie.

I think I can see it, if one looks at them as two sea-horses rather than "fish".

Of course, then it looks a bit lewd...

The solve was a bit tedious but it is a nice image.
