About Dhvaja Feadan-muineil

Is e feadan-muineil a th' ann an Dhvaja a dh'fhaodar fhosgladh gus cuimhneachain bheaga a stòradh. Tha an cruth air a bhrosnachadh leis an dhvaja, aon de na Ochd Samhlaidhean Sona ann am Bùdachas, a tha a' seasamh airson buaidh agus an cumhachd air olc a chur fodha. Tha am feadan-muineil air a dhèanamh de dh'òr 18k agus air a chrìochnachadh le lìomhadh sgàthain agus obair-làimhe le oir de ghràinneagan. Tha dà phàirt phrìomhach a' cruthachadh na h-obrach: dhvaja sgeadachail agus soitheach dùinte. Thèid an dhvaja a thionndadh gu socair gus a sgaradh bhon t-slabhraidh, gus an gabh nithean leithid ciabh de fhalt, sgriobtaran no litrichean a chur a-staigh. Tha an dealbhadh dìonach bhon uisge a' ceadachadh caitheamh airson ùine mhòr.
