Description

Hi,

DRAGON EATING ITS TAIL MADE OF RED,WHITE AND GRAYISH JADE

The Antique Dragon is highly intricate in detailed Oriental Tri-color carving made of Burmese Red, White and Grayish Jade.

The Particulars:

• Length = 2"
• Width = 1”
• Height = 2”
• Weight = 3.7oz

The Ouroboros is a dragon eating it’s own tail and has different meanings in different countries. One is that the dragon eats his tail to form a circle representing eternity and the soul of the world united.

Any info on the jaded piece itself would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
~Fox
