Nov 6 Umbilical cord + hair

In Taiwan young mothers take their
baby's umbilical stump and a clump of hair
and have them placed in a chop (or seal)
with the child's name on it.
Seems to be the "in thing" these days!

Well that is interesting. Looks like a red bow by the hair. Are they doing this for a medical reason?

It makes a nice abstract image. I would have never guessed what it was. I doubt anyone could. Interesting practice and image. V.
