[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 1117548, member: 2844"]Very nice, abdel. It is a Chinese 'Spirit Lock', which traditionally served to secure a person's spirit or soul to his/her body so evil forces couldn't steal it. In the centre is the Shou symbol for longevity, on either side of the Shou symbol are stylized dragons to protect it. It is upside down though, this is the way they were worn: [IMG]https://s14-eu5.startpage.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.etsystatic.com%2F11421181%2Fd%2Fil%2F351475%2F1816519935%2Fil_340x270.1816519935_6jga.jpg%3Fversion%3D1&sp=51c1bda2473bb66239d304f60dece611&anticache=790020[/IMG] [IMG]https://s14-eu5.startpage.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.etsystatic.com%2F20446063%2Fd%2Fil%2F746a68%2F1967467596%2Fil_340x270.1967467596_4cna.jpg%3Fversion%3D0&sp=6e7551dad46b051d583106a6035c5138&anticache=909165[/IMG] [IMG]https://s14-eu5.startpage.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=https%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fcommons%2Fthumb%2Fb%2Fbd%2F2021657_52238_Museon.jpg%2F220px-2021657_52238_Museon.jpg&sp=bc5871c4365c7b59e02a9a0d6abf6f23&anticache=741827[/IMG][/QUOTE]
