Carved Egg - Chinese Dragon on an Ostrich Shell

Although I collect dragons and carve
many of them for myself, there must be
a great many other people out there
who collect them as well, because I can
never keep any in stock, let alone hoard
any for myself. Dragons, in the Orient,
are the equivalent of angels in Western
relgions, and can be good or bad. The
good dragons usually carry a crystal
ball or gem in one hand (or foot), but
as we can only see three appendages,
this dragon remains a mystery, just as I
wanted him to.
