A Small Bronze Shoe In Qing Dynasty (Fig.)

A small copper shoe in Qing Dynasty last month, I was lucky enough to collect a copper shoe, 8 centimeters long and 2.2 centimeters tall, which is a genuine "little shoe".

The shoes are brass, and rust is natural. It is probably the middle part of the Qing Dynasty.

Interestingly, this little copper shoe has holes in the front and rear ends, which gives rise to speculation about its function. Some say it is used to ward off evil spirits. Some people think it is a curse.

But after careful analysis, the evil spirits should be left behind by the evil things or animals and animals.

Besides curse, the word "wear small shoes" is used in modern times, and there are many ways to curse. The curse cost of digging out the grave of the other party and putting it in a copper shoe is too high, and it doesn't matter.

I think, this copper shoe implies "same (copper) Heart Association (shoes) power" meaning.

I read the relevant information, copper shoes as folk auspicious objects, since the Ming Dynasty in the late Qing Dynasty.

Small holes on shoes are used for suspending in the bedroom and bedstead.

After death, the objects were buried and buried in the burial tombs.
