Stone Relief Plaque with Dragon

Grey slab with a scratched-in beast that clearly has opinions.

This is a stone relief plaque with a dragon. In East Asia the dragon is generally a benevolent creature linked with water, power and good fortune, and it is a frequent subject in carving. Flat, square slab with a slightly chipped edge and a shallow carved relief of an animal with a fluffy raised tail and open body lines. The surface is dusty grey and worn. It is 9 inches wide, 1 deep and 10 high.

A carved creature with stories to tell and no ink.
