About this piece

Two coiled discs, one S-curve, and not a fastener in sight.

Miao silversmiths of China made this garment fastener in silver in the mid 20th century. Miao silver is commonly worn at festivals, where it signals family wealth. The piece is an S-shaped bar that ends in two flat discs, each wound with concentric rings like a coiled spring. A small loop sits at the top of the curve. The silver is bright but softly worn, on a slim black metal mount.

About 9 inches tall. It looks like punctuation for a very elegant sentence.
