Tai Sui Red-Knot Inscription Taoist Plaque

A red knot hangs beside an ornate pale plaque. Vertical inscriptions and small round motifs fill the front below the raised face.

Sold individually.

Look first at the outline and relief of the tai sui red-knot inscription plaque. Its place in the Daojing collection reflects the use of ornament and inscription to carry a personal intention. Choose the particular design that speaks to the occasion, rather than assuming every motif has the same devotional use.

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.
