About this artwork
In China, the dragon is seen as a symbol of good luck and is celebrated in many ceremonies. Working in the soft soapstone requires its own technique and a lot of sensitivity, but not with that
too much material is removed - my passion for sculpture began with this type of rock.
In the green stone, wavy crests form fanciful lines on the sides and back of the dragon
Material: green soapstone, painted
Weight: about 0.5kg
Note: only suitable for… indoor use
