The hulu, or gourd, is one of the oldest carried talismans, once used to seal away medicine and now sealed shut for a different kind of protection. Its double curve is smooth and unbroken, gathered at the base with a small swirling motif. In sound alone, hulu echoes fu lu, fortune and prosperity, so the shape carries its meaning twice over, once in form and once in name.
