Two golden children in ornamental dress are poised on a small, red pedestal. The children are made of unpolished gold—a matte, ochre material; and small details are made in polished gold, which reflects some light. In front of the two children is a golden-glitter plaque, with red chinese characters on it. Behind the two children is a mirror embedded with golden chinese characters, with one large character in the center.
As my family is half Chinese, I decided to take a picture of a set of golden children with Chinese text that was given as a wedding present to my parents from my mother’s relatives. I like to combination of polished and unpolished gold! For reference, the plaque reads “The love of your life”, and the character in the background means “blessing”.
