Chinese Double Dragon Wedding Banquet Headdress Crown on Wooden Display Bust

About the Item

This an exquisite and spectacular piece. One of our favorites. Quite rare. We have not seen anything quite like it. Likely worn at one time by a bride in a Chinese wedding ceremony then displayed afterwards on carved wooden bust (which has since been attached to an acrylic base). The headdress displays two dragons curled around the cheekbones and a dragon insignia crafted just above the forehead. Stunning workmanship. This piece would be the crown jewel in any collection and sure to draw attention in any setting. Dimensions: 33" high, 23" wide, 18" deep.
