Cast Metal Sculpture
Chinese Mythological Style, Vintage

This cast metal sculpture depicts a classic mythological pairing: a dragon standing atop a turtle. The dragon is rendered in a traditional Asian style with an elongated, scaled body, while the turtle base features a textured geometric shell pattern. A vertical scrolling element extends from the dragon's back, reflecting the ornate aesthetic and symbolism of Chinese decorative arts.

• Hollow construction with no visible maker's marks or foundry stamps

Condition: Distressed vintage condition. The piece shows heavy surface oxidation and green verdigris throughout.

Requires thorough cleaning to remove loose oxidation. Structural integrity remains stable for display despite the visible material losses.
