🌟 Product Details

The creature is shown with a curled body, stylized head, and flowing tail, incorporating archaistic scroll patterns inspired by ancient Chinese bronze and jade designs.

The reverse reveals the natural stone variations, with darker mineral inclusions contrasting against the lighter polished surface. A small drilled aperture suggests it was intended for suspension as a pendant or amulet.

The carving displays layered depth and tactile detailing, characteristic of decorative 20th Century pieces referencing much earlier ritual forms.

Collector’s Notes: The dragon is one of the most important symbols in Chinese culture, representing power, protection, and auspicious energy. Archaistic jade carvings such as this reflect the long tradition of reviving ancient motifs, especially those inspired by Han and earlier periods. Pieces with natural russet skin are particularly appreciated for their visual depth and connection to the raw material. πŸ” Condition
