🌟 Product Details

🆔 Inventory CodeINV3972 Ⓜ️ MaterialAgate / Quartz 🏳️ OriginChina 🏛️ Period20th Century – Modern 🅂 SubjectChilong with Double Gourd (hulu) motif 🏷️ MarkedUnmarked 📜 Description Finely carved Chinese Agate / Quartz sculpture in pale grey to milky translucent tones, depicting a coiled Chilong (mythical dragon) entwined around a double gourd (hulu) form. The carving displays flowing, organic lines with openwork elements and detailed features including the dragon’s expressive head and curling body.

The stone shows natural inclusions and cloudy translucency, characteristic of agate, adding depth and visual interest to the piece. The polished surface contrasts with slightly textured areas enhancing the sculptural form.

The underside reveals a carved base with natural stone matrix and crystalline inclusions.

Collector’s Notes: The Chilong is a smaller dragon often associated with protection and auspicious energy, while the double gourd symbolizes longevity, health, and prosperity. Such carvings, particularly in Canton workshop style from the 20th Century, are popular among collectors for their symbolic meaning and decorative craftsmanship. 🔍 Condition
