About item 8
Pair Dragon statues sculpted of translucent whitish/green jadeite.
The lapidary has expertly chiseled these pieces all around from single stones.
An Ancient Chinese mythical dragon rests in an incumbent pose, representing good fortune, high achievement and prosperity.
Intricate body scales draw the eye, and action of the piece is brought to motion by the flaring mane and open mouth with protruding tongue.
The sculpture rises from a conforming, footed, wood stand.
