Chinese Bronze 5 Claws Royal Dragons Sculpted Vase - Pair
A rare vase from 19th Century Vase with 5 Clawed Dragon Motif.
A rare and finely crafted bronze vase which is decorated with sculpted Imperial Royal five claw dragons.
The dragon has always had a powerful significance in Chinese culture as a symbol of power. It has been law since before the Ming Dynasty that a dragon with five claws could only be used by the Emperor. Using the claws incorrectly was considered treason punishable not only by the death of the perpetrator, but also all of his family clan. Consequently pieces such as this only came from the Royal Palace.
Circa 1860
H 19" W 12" D 12"
