A hulu gourd in smooth cinnabar, hung beneath a small peace buckle.
Cinnabar is the fire-red stone of the Chinese tradition, long worn to guard vitality and keep good fortune close. Its colour alone was considered protective, the red that meets whatever the day brings.
The hulu (葫芦), the bottle gourd, is the vessel the old physicians carried their remedies in, and so it became the emblem of health and long life, said to draw in what harms and hold it fast. Above it sits a peace buckle, the plain ring worn for safe passage.
A charm for anyone minding their own health, or someone else's, who wants a quiet reminder close to hand. Clip it to a bag, a set of keys or the rear-view mirror.
