In East Asian mythology, the dragon is a supreme symbol of power, strength, good luck, and imperial majesty, traditionally ruling over water, rainfall, and hurricanes. Late 20th-century artisans beautifully captured the creature's dynamic movement by setting shimmering, hand-cut mother of pearl shell against deep black lacquer, producing a timeless high-contrast look highly favored in traditional collections and Hollywood Regency home galleries alike.
