The hairpin is made of gold by various techniques such as hammering and chiseling. The hairpin’s head is a full moon, and a moon rabbit with a ganoderma lucidum mouth is hollowed out and welded in the middle. When looking back, the middle and lower parts of the cloud are connected with a hairpin foot with a tapering tail, which is a popular hairpin style in Yuan and Ming Dynasties. The craft is simple and beautiful. This kind of moon rabbit jewelry should be worn in the Mid-Autumn Festival. The whole group is cute and auspicious, and it is really rare to appear in pairs.
