Blessed Traditional Feng Shui Coin Pendant

Description

Blessed traditional feng shui coins arrive tied, not loose: three Qing dynasty forms bound in imperial yellow silk, each to the other and to whoever carries them. The pendant is small enough to pass unnoticed and specific enough to be unmistakable to anyone who knows what they are looking at.

The round coin with a square center hole is among the most persistent forms in Chinese material culture, used continuously from the Zhou dynasty through the Qing. The specific form here references imperial Qing coinage, identified by its four-character inscription and its established proportions. The talisman practice of tying three coins with an endless knot and presenting them to a Buddhist monk for blessing is not a revival: it is maintained as a living custom in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Guangdong.

Each of the three coins is 2.5 cm in diameter, cast in brass with a warm, worn-gold patina applied by hand. The endless knot tying them is braided silk in imperial yellow, a continuous loop with no cut ends, approximately 6 cm from knot base to hanging loop. Total weight of the pendant including cord is under 15 grams. The loop at the top fits a door handle, a rear-view mirror bracket, or a thin chain without modification.
