A striking and highly decorative large brass Chinese dragon, elegantly poised in the position known as the pursuit of the Flaming Pearl of Knowledge - a symbol of wisdom, power, and prosperity in Chinese mythology.
 
The sculpture, dating to the mid-to-late C20th, is finely cast with intricate detailing. Likely produced for the tourist trade or export market, it remains a statement piece with timeless appeal. 
 
Please note one toe is missing but can be professionally restored before sale if desired.
