EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate details of a Dragon emblem of Yang in the form of a ritual staff head from the Ch'ing dynasty, dating back to around 1800. Crafted from gilt bronze, this piece showcases the exquisite craftsmanship and artistry of the time.
The dragon, a symbol of power, strength, and good luck in Chinese culture, is depicted in all its glory on this ritual staff head. The dynamic curves and fierce expression of the dragon convey a sense of majesty and authority.
What makes this piece even more intriguing is its association with Yang energy - traditionally associated with masculinity and assertiveness. However, paired with the image of a female figure nearby suggests a balance between yin (feminine) and yang (masculine) energies. This duality adds depth to the symbolism portrayed in this artwork.
Displayed at Museu Calouste Gulbenkian in Lisbon, Portugal, this Dragon emblem serves as a reminder of ancient beliefs and traditions that continue to hold significance today. It stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage and artistic legacy of China during the Ch'ing dynasty.
Overall, this print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical and symbolic importance of this remarkable artifact from centuries past.
