Unit price per
Monumental hand-carved Vietnamese wooden dragon sculpture depicting the traditional “Nhất Long Vờn Ngọc” motif, or single dragon playing with a pearl. Richly symbolic, the dragon represents power, authority, protection, and prosperity, while the pearl is associated with wisdom, spiritual energy, and abundance.
The sculpture is intricately carved with a dynamic coiling dragon rising through swirling waves, its body wrapped around a large central pearl. Fine details include individually carved scales, flame-like whiskers, expressive facial features, curling claws, and deeply carved wave forms. The warm natural wood finish enhances the depth of the carving and highlights the skill of the artisan.
Presented on a fitted wooden plinth, this impressive piece has strong architectural presence and would make an exceptional focal point for an entry, office, gallery, restaurant, hotel lobby, or collector’s interior.
