Description: Featuring a rare pair of antique Chinese Qing dynasty anatomically correct male (happy boy) and female (girl) amulet (pendant, talisman, charm) pieces meant to bring good fortune! The listing includes the matching pair of antique original charms with articulated components depicting a phallus on the male and a clitoris on the female and were culturally representative of fertility. The charms were frequently tied onto clothing, most often by pregnant women, but were sometimes tied onto the end of a bed. Also referred to as the “lucky” or “happy” boy, the talisman were meant to bring good luck, with the hopes of having a boy and carrying on the family name. The female amulet (as well as the male) were then given as a gift for the birth. The matching pair both showcase a vibrant blue lapis lazuli stone as well as a flower shaped top with beautiful metal-work details. If you look at the backside of the flowers, you can see that they were originally attached to something else, although I am not sure what. They are non-magnetic, but the metal content is unmarked and untested.
