LITTLE HIDDEN DRAGON

I am ringing in Lunar New Year 2012 with this tiny jade dragon. This is no ferocious fire spitting dragon. He is quiet and mysterious - he must be Hidden Dragon :))


Measuring 3.5 cm x 0.8cm it is indeed a tiny dragon you may also call it  Kid dragon :))  Made from a thin slab of yellow jade its zoomorphic appearance seems to   indicate a very early birth. It may even be considered a Shang or Zhou hopeful ( 13th-10th centuryBC). Here's the reverse view of hidden, kid dragon


Look at it from upside down, and its still the auspicious dragon that I so love !



I had it attached to a Chinese silk cord and it is all ready to wear and greet the new year.


And here is an illuminated view of jade dragon


O Hidden Kid Dragon my wish is for Health and Happiness to All this Lunar New Year !
