All the luck will run out of it that way.

I used to have one over my door, always. I think my son has it, now...no wonder my luck has been so lousy!! LOL!

Horseshoe.

Most folks have the horseshoe open side up to catch luck that would fall into it.

Because blacksmiths create horseshoes, they will sometimes mount a horseshoe openside down at the entry to the smithy so that all who enter are sprinkled with luck.
