This striking vintage shadow box artwork showcases a finely detailed Chinese cloisonné and gold filigree dragon, set within a circular design and framed under glass.
The dragon, depicted with five claws (a symbol of the Emperor in traditional Chinese culture), is shown chasing the flaming pearl of wisdom, a classic motif representing prosperity, enlightenment, and power.
Crafted with exquisite precision, the piece combines:
Cloisonné enameling – colorful inlays in red, green, and blue separated by fine metal wires
Gold filigree wirework – delicate openwork patterns forming the circular border
Three-dimensional layering – giving depth and a sculptural quality to the flaming pearl dragon
Origin: China, likely made for export in the 1970s–1980s
Medium: Cloisonné enamel and gilded filigree metalwork
Presentation: Mounted in a shadow box frame with glass front and original backing hardware
