Description from the seller

Three Interwoven Dragons: Three dragons in a dynamic, interwoven composition—each with its own head and body

Powerful symbolism: Three dragons together represent extreme strength, imperial power, and heavenly blessing.

Detailed execution: Each dragon has visible scales, claws, manes, and an expressive face.

Green patina: The beautiful green patina gives the bronze object authenticity and a sense of age.

Symbolism of three dragons:
Imperial authority: Several dragons indicate high status—perhaps an imperial or high-ranking official seal.

Heavenly Power: Dragons Master the Weather, Water, and Luck

Harmony and balance: Three is a lucky number in Chinese culture

Protection: The dragons guard the seal and the authority it represents

The seal is in good used condition with signs of aging. (See photos)
Very fine and detailed.
Carefully packed and shipped insured.

Weight: 1450 grams.

This item can be shipped together with my other items in this auction so that you only have to pay the shipping costs once.
