Good-Luck Silver Lockers

Silver lockers have been one of the most popular birthday gifts in Chinese communities now and then. The choice of form of locker, is for the blessing of 'To lock up one faith, so that the evil spirits will not be able to take it away'
Usually,the wish of Stay Young Forever was inscribed on one face; and a fairy riding on Kirin ( a sacred feast from Chinese folk tales) representing a sign of good luck on the other face. There are usually also two plants shown in the two sides, one is peony, Chinese regards it as the symbol of fortune and nobility; the other is bamboo, a forever-green plant Chinese take it as the symbol of longevity or forever-young..
