This handcrafted pendant is a traditional Chinese cultural art piece, meticulously made from high-quality cupronickel (a copper-nickel alloy) using time-honored metalworking techniques. Its elongated tally shape reflects classic motifs found in historical Chinese decorative arts, with clean lines and balanced proportions.
The front features intricate engraved patterns inspired by regional folk symbolism—arranged in symmetrical, rhythmic compositions—and accented with subtle red pigment and gold-toned detailing for visual contrast and artistic emphasis. A circular disc forms the rear element, complementing the main form and enhancing its collectible appeal.
Measuring approximately 4.5 cm in length and 1.2 cm in width, the pendant weighs 18 grams and is paired with a durable, hand-woven copper-toned chain. Each piece is individually finished by skilled artisans, ensuring consistent craftsmanship and refined surface detail.
