Bronze Figurine “Dragon with the Pearl of Wisdom” in Antique Silver - Chinese Motif - H. 15 cm
Item number 138435
A Chinese dragon raising the pearl of wisdom high above its head.
Its body coils in a tight S-curve, the jagged crest following every bend. In Chinese art the pearl stands for luck, strength and insight, which makes the piece a popular gift for a business opening and a find for collectors of Asian objects.

Craftsmanship
Scale by scale, beard, mane and horns are crisply recut. The antique silver finish stays dark in the hollows and flashes bright on the ridges, while the smooth pearl is kept slightly duller.
Care
Dusting with a soft dry cloth is enough. Please do not use silver polish: the darker areas in the recesses are intentional and part of the finish.
