Hand-Carved Turquoise Snuff Bottle

About the Item

This snuff bottle hand-carved in the 1970s in China features an impressive relief of a dragon in motion, captured mid-flight as it throws a ball of flames. The veining of the turquoise (mined in Arizona, USA) adds movement and energy to the carving, while the fitted lid and polished wooden base complete its refined presentation. A unique addition for collectors of meaningful and symbolic pieces. Weight: 123 g
