The dragon is probably the most universal of all mythical creatures. It is most frequently described as a great flying reptile, a ferocious and untamed (but not evil) beast which embodies in many cultures the elemental forces of chaos and cosmic order.

Dwelling in the dark caverns of the earth, with lungs of fire, wings of a bird and scales of a fish, the dragon epitomizes the four elements of earth, fire, air & water, unifying them into a single presence that can inspire the imagination and the spirit.

In ancient times Dragons were perceived as powerful, protective, and fearsome, and they were valued for their warlike qualities. They were often protectors of a treasure, and from this they can be symbolic of a most valiant defender.

In the Orient, the emphasis has traditionally been on the positive aspects of this primal energy. The dragon is depicted as a union of the beneficial powers of the elements. Uniting water (the serpent) with air (the bird, the breath of life), it represents the coming together of matter and spirit. The positive force of the dragon is capable of regenerating the earth and our personal energy through the dragon pathways - symbolic arteries through which earth energy, or chi, flows. This hand-crafted and well made piece is made of the finest 925 sterling silver (no plating or artificial finish).
