Dragon Sculpture on Stand-Gold Leaf

Caught mid-serpentine arc, this gilded dragon fragment—scaled body, feathered tail, and roaring, tusked profile rendered in exacting relief—floats above its blackened base on slender pins, the matte charcoal plinth throwing every gleaming ridge and curl of the gold finish into sharp relief. It's a piece that reads as recovered temple sculpture reborn as tabletop art, equally at home anchoring a console or commanding a bookshelf vignette.
