Description from the seller
In Chinese culture, the dragon (龍, lóng) is one of the most powerful and positive symbols. Unlike in Western traditions, where dragons are often seen as dangerous, the Chinese dragon represents strength, wisdom, prosperity, and happiness.
Important meanings are that the dragon stands for imperial power (the emperor was seen as the "Son of the Dragon"), control over water and rain (essential for agriculture and abundance), and divine protection and blessings.
The dragon is associated with the yang principle, male energy, and is often depicted with other sacred creatures such as the phoenix.
In Feng Shui and devotional art, the dragon is used to attract positive chi, provide protection against negative energy, and promote success and prosperity.
The statue is in good used condition with signs of aging. (See photos)
Very finely detailed.
Carefully packed and insured shipping.
This object can be shipped together with other objects of mine in this auction so that you only pay shipping costs once.
