Mandala

Translating to ‘circle’ in Sanskrit, the Mandala is a circular design that is primarily used in religion as spiritual and ritual symbols. They symbolize a balanced connection between man and universe and are often used as a spiritual guidance tool in meditation. It is the belief of those who practice it that by entering the mandala and proceeding towards its center, it allows one to align the mind and body with the universe.

Chinese Dragon

The majestic Chinese Dragon represents power, strength and luck, a mythic creature that has since become synonymous with Chinese culture. Because of their symbolic representation of the Emperor in Chinese history, they have long been deemed as the noblest of all animals. Today, the Chinese Dragon is seen during auspicious celebrations and remains popular for its association with good luck and prosperity. 

Meaningful Art and Purposeful Symbolism

On this piece, the Chinese Dragon rises from the surface with impressive detail, a realistic image that is brought to life through a distinct 3D feel. Surrounding the legendary creature are intricate motifs of more smaller dragons that lay against the mandala pattern. The pattern itself is an outstanding piece of work, its design drawn with inspiration from the caisson ceilings of the Forbidden City. This lattice pattern was only used in important Chinese buildings such as palaces and temples due to its complexity in design and execution. With elaborate precision applied to the most minute detail, this spectacular collectible makes a befitting and impressive gift.
