does eye position matter?

old folk claim -

eyes look near = look after your family within the same roof.

eyes look far = look after your career and your future.

What about eyes closed?

What about eyes closed?

We saw a few with eyes that were closed or almost closed. My parents said to avoid becox u'll want the deities at home to be watching out for everyone in the family. But there must be a reason why the artisans made them with their eyes closed.

One neighbour even told us that the deity's eye level should be guarding the ash pot where the joss sticks are offered & placed in.

I am not sure about the eye direction.

Maybe you can ask the seller why some GY eye look far, some look down...etc...

when eye-closed, it means "no eyes to see this family lor" ..hahahahahah

I think mine is eye-closed (let me check tonight), only during cny, when i invite lion dance, it open eyes and the ash pot will have big fire without us lighting joss-stick

This told me that it came to our house. Applies to my tua pei kong too.
