i came across this menuki in an auction. it was paired with a seabream menuki. i would like to know what the menuki is depicting.

i tried to ask the ai but ai kept suggesting answers that do not seem correct/likely.

i did a quick search on my own, the menuki could be depicting tide jewels from japanese folklore, wispy soul, glass fishing buoy, etc. but still inconclusive.
