EDITORS COMMENTS
"This 19th century print depicts a hand-carved dragon, an iconic mythical creature deeply rooted in Asian mythology and folklore. The dragon, with its elongated body, intricately carved scales, and balancing tail, is a stunning example of the intricate craftsmanship and artistic skill of the time. The dragon's inquisitive expression and leaning forward posture add a sense of curiosity and balance to the image. The dragon is dressed in traditional Asian clothing, with a sashi-type dress that accentuates its powerful form. The clothing adds an interesting layer to the piece, showcasing the fusion of mythology and fashion from the 19th century. The colorful and detailed apparel, made of bamboo or wood, further highlights the intricacy and attention to detail in this handicraft. This image, taken as a studio shot, is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art or mythology. It is a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the continent and the fascination with mythical beasts that has endured through the centuries. The dragon, with its mythological significance and captivating presence, continues to inspire awe and wonder, making this print a truly unique and intriguing addition to any collection."
