Lotus Small Pendant

The Lotus (莲花 Lián huā) is famed for its beauty in Chinese Culture, it has a reputation for growing from mud and emerging pure and unsullied from its surroundings, untouched by the dirt from whence it came. It was imported from India into China 1,300 years ago, and has been long referenced in Chinese art, stories and music. 

This pretty battered brass lotus flower pendant has been made exclusively for the Manchester Museum by Just Trade.
