EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century hand-carved dragon image (Dragon [image 1 of 2], 18th century) is a stunning example of the intricate and rich artistic heritage of Asia during this period. The dragon, a mythical beast revered in many Asian cultures for its power and good fortune, is depicted in this close-up view, showcasing its open mouth and intricately carved scales. The dragon's body is made of dark, richly stained wood, with each scale meticulously carved by hand. The dragon's fierce expression and open mouth suggest a roar or a breath of fire, adding to its mythical allure. The dragon's clothing or dress, made of the same stained wood, is adorned with intricate patterns and designs, further enhancing its regal and powerful appearance. This dragon image, a precious artifact from the 18th century, is a testament to the skill and creativity of the unknown artist who crafted it. It is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage and mythology that have shaped the continents of Asia and beyond. This image is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it is cherished as an important piece of world heritage art. The dragon's fierce and majestic presence continues to captivate visitors and inspire awe, making it a must-see attraction for anyone interested in fashion, mythology, or the history of art.
