I don’t read Chinese! My partner found this amazing door knocker today, and I would love to know what the characters mean.
Any help would be appreciated!

吉祥. Prosperity.
If it isn’t too much to ask, what would be the pinyin pronunciation?
吉祥
lucky
jí xiáng
Thank you!
I read 吉祥 which reads as jíxiáng and simply means “happiness”. But it is hard to tell for sure, because of the rust/oxidation/dirt.
Edit for pronounciation help: jí reads like Jeep, but leave out the p. xiáng reads like young, but add a sh sound infront: shyoung. The accents indicate, that those are prounounced with a rising tone, the way you raise your voice at the end of a question.
Ah, you wrote ten months ago, not ten minutes… :-( Sorry for replying so late to your post.
