5 Feet, 4 inches tall. 2 piece (shrine & stand). Antique Chinese Dragon Family Shrine, Buddhist Altar/Temple. Octagonal and Intricately Hand. NO two of the 16 Dragons are identical. Comes with removable electrical blue light, and holy statues. From 1644 to 1911. We feel very lucky to have found this lovely work of art during our travels. And very honored to own it. Any reasonable offer with be considered. Note, that the shrine itself is the antique and hand made for a family circa 1850. It fits and looks so perfect, could be mistaken as one piece. (See last photo of the way we discovered the shrine). Shrine Height, including the stand is 64 inches (about 5′ 4 tall). Shrine Width , from tip to tip of each dragon is 28 inches. The Stand itself is 33 inches high. Wood Roof tiles : (hundreds) seem to be carved in section. A small section fell off and we had it repaired. Each of the 8 Dragon Heads on the roof are each i ntricately hand carved. They may look identical but no two are exactly alike. They are 4 inches tall. The other 8 unique Dragons are carved full dragons guarding the outside the the shrine. They are hand carved so accurate and precise that they are actually movable pedestals, that can be turned by hand, around and move up and down. They are 9 inches each. Inside: The shrine has what I call a walkway that goes around the entire shrine, with 8 entrances nicely carved and leading to the main area. Each of those octagonal areas leading into the entrance to the main area are 4 inches wide. The main flat area originally was used for incense or candles top of the inside of the roof shows minor scorched marks. But, you have to look deep inside and up with a flashlight to see it. The height inside from floor to ceiling is 14 inches. The light fixture and blue light will be included. Of course, any light bulb can replaced with. The blue bulb, or not used at all. They are heavy, very fragile, and need to be packed well. Free local pick-up in Sedona, AZ. Additional photos available upon asking.

Antique Tibetan Guardian Dragons Wall Sconce Set Brass Bronze Chinese Buddhist

Posted by admin | Categories antique | Tagged antique, brass, bronze, buddhist, chinese, dragons, guardian, sconce, tibetan, wall

Gorgeous Ornate Set of Sconces. One has a bit more patina than the other. I believe these date to the late 1800s to early 1900s. Authentic and rare pieces of history. Each measures approximately 6″ high X 6″ wide X 4 deep. Heres a bit of history regarding the dragons significance in the culture. Buddhism came to China from India almost two millennia ago. As Buddhism spread in China, it adapted to Chinese culture. Monks stopped wearing the traditionals affron robes and adopted Chinese-style robes, for example. And in China, Buddhism met dragons. Dragons have been part of Chinese culture for at least 7,000 years. In China, dragons have long symbolized power, creativity, heaven, and good fortune. They are thought to have authority over bodies of water, rain, floods, and storms. In time, Chinese Buddhist artists adopted the dragon as a symbol ofenlightenment Today dragons decorate roofs and gates of temples, both as guardians and to symbolize the dragon’s power of clarity.
