An intricately carved Chinese hardstone sculpture featuring a dense cluster of sinuous dragons encircling stylized “pearls of wisdom.” Carved from a variegated stone with warm yellow-toned inclusions and purple-brown surface accents, the composition offers rich dimensionality and a dramatic interplay of form and shadow. The carving is securely mounted to a complementary dark stone base, lending weight and presence. A striking decorative accent for shelves, consoles, or a collector’s cabinet—especially for those drawn to mythic themes and intricate hand-worked surfaces.
