The wooden locks resemble a rectangle puzzle made of wood. They are decorated with animal figures, symbolizing good luck, and traditional patterns carved into the locks. The lock is designed with a solid, flat, narrow tongue for screwing into a purposely dug hole or door on the inside. On the other side, you'll find intricate animal carvings and patterns. Notably, the key was crafted from wood.
