Artist's Description
Padlocks are portable locks with a shackle that may be passed through an opening (such as a chain link, or hasp staple) to protect against unauthorized use,theft, vandalism, or harm. There are padlocks dating to the Roman Era, 500 BC to 300 AD. They were known in early times by merchants traveling the ancient trade routes to Asia and China.
Padlocks have been used in China since the late Eastern Han Dynasty (25 to 220 AD). According to Hong-Sen Yan, director of the National Science and Technology Museum, early Chinese padlocks were mainly "key-operated locks with splitting springs, and partially keyless letter combination locks".Padlocks were made from bronze, brass, silver, and other materials. The use of bronze was more prevalent for the early Chinese padlocks.
