The Chinese name for finger citron, foshou, is also a pun based on fu for ‘blessings’ or ‘riches’ followed by shou for ‘longevity’. In addition, the finger citron fruit was thought to resemble the hand of the Buddha, with its idealized, lotus-shaped ‘fingers’. Although inedible, the fruit has a strong citrus fragrance which is often used for scenting rooms, and for offerings at the Buddhist altar.

Literature comparison:
Compare a closely related jade pendant in the shape of a Buddha’s hand, dated to the Qing dynasty, 12 cm high, found in Zhang Zhidong’s residence at Nanpi, Hebei Province, now in the Hebei Provincial Center for Cultural Heritage Preservation, and illustrated by Gu Fang, The Complete Collection of Jades Unearthed in China, vol. 1, Beijing, 2005, p. 233.
