Description
Chinese Carved Wood Sculpture "Dragon Chasing Pearl", H 31" W 12" Dia. 10" | Having a dynamically carved dragon with detailed scales and expressive features, poised as if in motion around an implied central axis, which suggests the pursuit of the mythical pearl—a motif symbolizing wisdom and prosperity in Chinese culture. the dragon's anatomy, with pronounced claws, flared nostrils, and undulating body, is rendered with attention to texture and movement. the work rests on a base that resembles a section of a tree, adding a grounded and natural element to the sculpture. the interplay of detailed carving and the natural grain of the wood contributes to the visual depth and the storytelling quality of this object. Provenance: Property from a Trenton, MI private collector.
