Hanging length is 5 inches. The main piece is 1 1/2 inches long and 1 5/8 inches wide.

This amulet is among a group of pieces representing the finest Chinese silver workfrom the Qing Dynasty. When the Communists came in, all jewelry andartifacts were confiscated from the citizenry by the government and stored inwarehouses. In the 1970\'s, the government started selling the stock toselect dealers. This piece and others were purchased 35 years ago fromsome of the first traders who were allowed to buythis preciouswork.

I travel frequently between San Francisco and Amsterdam, Netherlands, soitem will be sent from wherever I am when the sale closes.Nevertheless, the shipping cost is the same. It will take about 2 weeksafter payment is received for item to arrive if it\'s sent from Amsterdam.For deliveries to China, due to so many lost or stolen packages, the shippingcost will be $20, which includes track and trace. This price is less thanmy cost. If this is not acceptable, please refrain from offerding.And if you do offer and win, please don\'t leave negative response about thedelivery time and cost.
