Chinese lock teal silk

The Chinese longevity lock used on doors and boxes, have a long established association with protection of the unknown.  They are decorated with both Chinese characters and symbols. I added wonderful vintage tassels from Uzbekistan on the lock.  The center tassel is very unusual.  What a statement you will make walking in with this one on!!!
