The magnet comes in two varieties, one in wood and the other in metal. It is fashioned after a Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) coronet worn by the empress at imperial ceremonies.
The sophisticated workmanship of the coronet's filigree inlay technique and hundreds of precious stones and pearls make it a highlight in the Ancient China galleries, a long-term exhibition at the National Museum.
