A pair of gold colored dragons contest a fiery pearl in this spectacular Asian wall carving. The dragons, including the smoke and clouds that surround them, are all three dimensional. A beautiful and ornate frame houses the image of the dragons inside it. The pearl between the dragons has significance. Chinese legend asserts that every dragon carried a pearl under its chin and some Buddhists think of this pearl as the "divine pearl that grants all wishes". Some scholars say that a pearl and dragon together were a special mark of imperial rank. Today, the dragon is a symbol of power the world over and is one of the most popular icons in Asian culture and art. Hang this wall carving anywhere in home or office for a truly majestic Asian decorative feel. Brackets mounted on the back of the carving make it easy to hang.
