It features a classic, barrel-shaped design known as a "drum stool," meticulously crafted in a vibrant blue and white palette with colorful accents of pink and green.
Intricate Dragon Motif: The body is adorned with raised, detailed dragons—a powerful symbol of good fortune, strength, and power in Chinese culture. Note the variation in color: some dragons are painted in a deep blue, while others feature a mossy green and pink, adding depth and visual interest.
Symbolic Coin Design: The front features a pierced cutout design resembling two Chinese coins tied with a ribbon, another potent symbol of wealth and prosperity. These cutouts are functional, allowing air circulation, but also serve as a beautiful decorative element.
Auspicious Characters: The upper and lower bands prominently feature Chinese double happiness characters (囍) nestled within cloud motifs (Ruyi). This symbol is traditionally associated with marriage and good fortune, making this piece an ideal unique gift or home accent.
Geometric Borders: The top and bottom are finished with classic Meander (or Greek Key) fretwork bands, which frame the central imagery beautifully.
Versatile Use: This stool functions perfectly as an outdoor patio seat, a stylish end table indoors, a plant stand, or a captivating decorative accent piece. The flat, decorated top makes it an excellent surface for holding drinks or books.
