Big Dipper Shield Taoist Pendant

A shield-shaped outline frames the Big Dipper motif. Its pointed silhouette distinguishes it from the rectangular ruler pendants in the collection.

Sold individually.

The Big Dipper is the seven-star motif behind this design. It distinguishes the piece from designs centered on a yin-yang disk or eight trigrams.

The Dipper theme brings the stars into the design. Within Taoist devotional imagery, the Northern Dipper can express a wish for guidance and protection. Look at the pattern of points and lines rather than reading every dot as a separate inscription.

Think about where the pendant will fall when worn. The length of a pendant and the length of its cord are different measurements. If you intend to use your own chain, compare the fitting with its clasp before choosing.
