度Size, wearing & display
For display, decide which face you want to read from a little distance. Deep relief and narrow incised lines catch side light differently; leave room around the outline rather than pressing the face against another object.
Plaques and charms can be carried in a pocket or pouch, hung from a cord, or set upright on a desk or altar shelf facing the room.
养Care
Dust with a soft dry cloth and keep away from damp and long direct sun. Polish metal surfaces gently; avoid chemical cleaners.
赠A gift for
Someone starting a new role, business or chapter at work. A new shop, a new home or a Lunar New Year visit. A traveller, a new home, or someone going through an uncertain time. Anyone drawn to Taoist culture and its symbols.
The meaning of this piece · 寓意
Ziwei Seal & Zhao Gongming Silver-Inlay Taoist Talisman Plaque
In the old temples of Longhu and Wudang, thunder was the voice of heaven’s law. Priests carved its seals into wood the lightning had already touched and kept them by the door, the bed and the body — so that whatever is crooked would meet something straight.
