Oriental Laying Dragon, Marble, Unique, 30cm high by 70cm wide by 65cm deep , Animals and Birds , Fantasy , Nature , Classical Mythology sculpture

This piece is a unique marble sculpture it depicts a traditional Chinese dragon, rendered in exquisite detail.

Smooth marble contrasts with sharp, intricate carving, highlighting the dragon’s scales, facial features, and claws. The natural veining in the stone adds depth and a subtle, organic texture. This interplay of polished and rough surfaces gives the sculpture a lifelike presence despite its rigid material.

The sculpture draws the viewer’s eye along the curves of the body, encouraging close examination of its details.

Through its traditional symbolism, the dragon represents power, protection, and good fortune. The piece is aged and weathered, with areas covered in moss, adding to an antique feel. The work merges heritage with artistry, offering both visual impact and cultural resonance.

Overall, Oriental Stone Dragon combines dynamic movement, strong presence, and meticulous craftsmanship. Its carefully considered design invites viewers to appreciate both form and symbolism in equal measure.

The piece can be sold as is, with it’s age marks and moss, for a classical, older feel. Or we are happy to clean and polish it, to bring it back to it’s former glory, although we can not guarantee that it will be ‘as new’ (because it is not new!)
