Longevity lock (Changming suo)

£28Sample price
A small silver lock, the changming suo or ‘long-life lock’, worn by children in China. We found no early record of the lock itself: it is later folk silver. It is linked with an older custom, the five-colour long-life thread. Comes with its story card.
