Description from the seller

Ancientizing Amulet - Mythical Dragons - Guardians of Celestial Powers

This amulet is carved from a serpentine group stone with an ivory-tinged, slightly celadon hue, offering a silky sheen and beautiful natural translucence. Its warm patina highlights a deep, finely executed engraving.

Paired, these two dragons embody balance between the forces of Heaven and Earth, cosmic harmony, and lasting prosperity.
