This bib is made of red, green, yellow and other color silk materials and takes the shape of a lock that symbolizes longevity. Two goldfishes playing in water plants are embroidered in net stitch, couching stitch, long and short stitch at the center of the white silk. Four characters "Chang Ming Fu Gui" (long life and prosperity) are sewed on the blue silk on the top, implying parents' expectation to their child. Bordered in blue satin, this bib bears a strong folksy style.
