A superb piece of sterling silver artwork from China’s early 20th century era displaying a highly detailed and raised firing dragon. The intensity and ferocity of the dragon is so visible. The other side has 2 rows of Chinese writing/characters which I dont understand. The inside of the case is very clean, and is signed for silver purity and maker’s label. Case measures 4″ by 3″ and it’s 3/8 thick. The clasp works fine, by pressing it it opens and closes tight. There is no resistance upon closure or when holding the case open. It weighs 104 grams or about 3.4 OZ. Case is free dents or bumps or major scratches. There is wear consistent with its age. Please study the 12 photos listed as they are part of the description.
