Narrow ring with three stars – (8077)
[8077]

Narrow silver ring with a decoration of Three Stars and a Ladder. We guess that the three stars represent the Three Star Gods or ‘Sanxing’ (三星) called Fu (Prosperity), Lu (Status or Rank) and Shou (Longevity). And perhaps the Ladder is meant as a symbol to reach these important things in life. The ring dates from the Republic period (1912 – 1947). Diameter 1.9 cm. Width 0.4 cm.
