For sale is this incredibly rare Chinese clay Ming Dynasty hand carved eves tile relief with a small portion of a dragon remaining. This piece was carefully sculpted of a soft stone or a wet clay, and then glazed and baked in a furnace. It still showcases the original shape of part of the dragon (including a claw, and parts of the side of the dragon and face curved around near the claw). Please study the photos carefully so you will have a good idea of what parts are clearly visible. It was located by a team of skilled archeologists around some ancient archeological remains. It was then owned by a private Chinese Antiquities collection. I bought it from the professional archeologist, and collector himself! It is a good size (see photos). It is in pretty good condition, given that it was broken from an other piece (almost all angles show this). Please study the photos carefully to see exact condition of the item. This piece appraised at quite a bit, so don’t miss out at this wholesale priced artifact!! It is really hard to put a value on something like this! It would complement any antiquities collection well! Don’t pass it up! Be sure to check over the details and look at all of the photos so you will know exactly what you’ll get!
