- Description:
There are 108 eggplant fragrant beads, and one turquoise Buddha head is added every 27 eggplant fragrant beads. There are coral beads on all three strands, and coral drops are under them. The Buddha Head Pagoda is connected with a metal back cloud with a long yellow ribbon. Both the back cloud and the falling angle are coral. It is a special tradition of the Qing Dynasty to use the “imperial bead” as an ornament hanging on the chest of emperors, ministers and life wives when wearing imperial or auspicious clothes. In the “Imperial Ritual Ware Pattern”, which was ordered by Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty, it was clearly listed that people of various ceremonies and different identities must use a specific form of the imperial bead. It can be seen that the Qing government took this decoration tradition as a fixed pattern.
