    Brooch Shou Symbol

    From the collection of the Peabody Essex Museum

    Like a written or spoken language, symbols in Chinese art are a means of communication. The shou character, or ideogram, means "long life." According to traditional beliefs, the presence of a given visual symbol could have a specific, desired effect on the life of the bearer. Our shou symbol is adapted from a Chinese necklace in the collection of the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts.

    Materials: pewter with gold finish, horizontal pin closure
    Diameter: 1 1/2"
    Gift box included
