Endless Knot is a traditional auspicious symbol created in China. It is a graphic ornament composed of intertwined lines.

The intertwining of lines reminds us how all phenomena are conjoined and yoked together as a closed cycle of cause and effect. Thus the whole composition is a pattern that is closed on in itself with no gaps, leading to a representational form of great simplicity and fully balanced harmony.

Since all phenomena are interrelated, the placing of the endless knot on a gift is understood to establish an auspicious connection between the giver and the recipient.

Since the knot has no beginning or end it also symbolizes ˇ§ETERNITYˇ¨.
