This carved Jade depicts the image of a dragon chasing an animal on top in beautiful relief and detail. One side is deeply carved and the back side has a shallow simple carving. This piece is predominately white with some light green. The bail is 14k yellow gold.
"Dragons are so important and pervasive in Chinese culture we have dedicated a whole section to this flying animal. In brief summary, the dragon is the mightiest of creatures, master of rain and water and usually good natured. It has its place in the astrological years and serves as a symbol principally of the Emperor and therefore the top of the pyramid of symbols.
Ancient belief ties the dragon to the bringing of life-giving rain in the form of master of the storm clouds. In appearance it is more serpent-like than the Western version and is usually portrayed among the clouds."
