Design and Cultural Significance
Chinese hair stick (簪, zān)
Hairpins, such as hair sticks, have been used in Chinese clothing for a long time. The jiji (笄礼) ceremony in traditional China was the rite of passage for a young woman and was related to the practice of combing her hair up and pinning it with a hairpin.
The floral detail
Flowers are a common theme in Chinese decorative arts and are often used to symbolize beauty and the changing of the seasons. The flower depicted gives it a specific meaning, so this design is best viewed as a floral accent, and not as a symbol with one meaning.
Sandalwood
Sandalwood is a traditional wood used for making decorative items and crafts. The hair stick is made of natural wood and features a floral pattern, creating a traditional and Chinese-inspired design.
