🌰 Walnut Description
Yuanbao Monkey Head Walnut is a classic low-profile Monkey Head variety mainly produced in Henan, China. Traditionally used for Wenwan bracelets and hand strings, this variety is admired for its compact gold ingot shape, smooth hand feel, and durable material.

This pair represents a rare oversized example of Yuanbao Monkey Head that can be enjoyed directly as a hand-play walnut. Compared with ordinary bracelet-making material, a natural pair reaching this size with a full 41mm belly and nearly 40g total weight is much less common.

This pair features:

• Classic Yuanbao (gold ingot) silhouette with a low and rounded profile
• Exceptional 41mm belly creating a full and comfortable hand feel
• Balanced 36mm edge and 34mm height proportions, ideal for daily handling
• Dense walnut material with excellent stability and resistance to cracking
• Shallow natural texture that is easy to clean and maintain
• Natural oily surface with strong potential to develop a rich oxford-red color and jade-like polished luster
• Excellent matching quality with balanced size and weight distribution

✨ Artisan Inlay Details

• The edges are carefully inlaid with gold-plated sterling silver wire, adding a refined luxury appearance while complementing the walnut’s natural texture
• The base vents are decorated with purple gemstone inlays, creating an elegant contrast and enhancing the collectible value of the pair

⭐ Collector Advantages
Yuanbao Monkey Head walnuts are traditionally known as bracelet-making material, making oversized hand-play pairs especially rare.

This pair combines the iconic Yuanbao shape with larger dimensions, dense material, and handcrafted decorative details. It offers both the tactile enjoyment of traditional walnut playing and the visual appeal of an artisan Wenwan collectible.

With regular play and proper care, the surface will gradually become smoother, warmer, and develop a deep oxblood-red patina with a jade-like glow.

🖐 Care Guide

• Brush gently to keep the shallow texture clean
• Play with clean, dry hands for even patina development
• Avoid excessive oiling; natural hand oils are sufficient
• Avoid sudden temperature changes and prolonged moisture exposure
• Store properly when not in use
