Vintage Hand Carved Sculpture Dragon Rising with Wood Stand -Chinese / Japanese. A large fish near the bottom spouts water harassing a fisherman. Above there are buildings and foliage with pierced scroll work studded with details like flowers, warriors and hidden pagodas. Rising out and above is a huge scaly dragon, with his mustachio curling about his body like a ribbon. His head is finely carved with great expression, notice the detail in the mouth and particular in the puff of smoke at the end of twin lines of fire coming out his nostrils. Most interesting, a youngster with topknot, has the dragon by the horns. The youth has a ring held tightly in the hand not gripping the dragon. He has billowing robes that snake about much as around the dragon. The reverse side of the sculpture has not been left out and continues the details. The sculpture sits on custom hand carved wood stand which continues the motif of ocean- with waves and rocky shores. Excellent Condition: As found, minor dust. Sculpture has some minor damage and an area that looks like was repaired. Stand finish has wear as shown in photos. This item is in the category “Antiques\Asian Antiques\China\Figurines & Statues”.
