100% Handmade Purple Traditional Chinese Tassel

Made this as a Chinese New Year 2020 present for a friend. I used a hand-painted wisteria glass bead which you can see in the closeup.It would make a lovely hanfu waist ornament or yaopei. I added two bells so it would tinkle with movement. Not for sale obviously.

 

 

 

 

Chongyang Festival 重阳节 October 28

Chongyang Festival

Chongyang Festival or the Double Ninth Festival is held on the ninth day of the ninth month under the Chinese lunar calendar. It is traditional on this day to climb mountains and to celebrate by admiring chrysanthemums which bloom luxuriantly at this time of the year, drinking chrysanthemum wine and eating chrysanthemum cakes. It is also traditional to pay one's respects to the elders on this day.
