More Than You Wish For-  Baifu Painting(Hei Matau)

A Baifu Painting consists of one hundred different styles of the word “Fu” (fulfillment). It is an expression of optimism and hope, for a better future.

Extending into the hook are characters of the style of “Da Yu Ding”. This style of writing was originally cast on to bronze in the Western Zhou period.(1122 – 255 B.C.).  These characters exude a metallic strength worthy of supporting such an impressive pendant. The curvature of the last character effectively ‘finishes off’ the Matau, lending a beautiful continuity between the two cultures.
