A Beautiful 17-18th century antique Chinese architectural carving of a wonderful scaled dragon with what looks like a fish tail in original finish with a great expression and composition showing layered sculptural visual effect. Minor breakage. As is. We have recently made a nice stand for this sculptural piece with a beautiful display now.

It is said that there were nine dragons who were nine sons of the sun. The dragon with scales was originally said to be a water dragon who could command rain and water. 2004 is the Year of the Dragon!

Dimensions: 11"h x 22 3/8"w x 6 1/4"d (dragon alone), 16 1/4" H with the new stand
