The pattern on the green segments, neckpiece and earrings, is my interpretation of the bamboo lattice on the fabric. The speckled blue green pattern is another free interpretation of mine. The nesting bamboo boxes and good luck charms on the fabric are represented by a yellow dot (neckpiece), symbolizing positive energy and hope. Blue and green are also lucky colors in
