Description:
Master Nepali craftsman created this absolutely magnificent sterling silver Dragon Teapot, intricately inlaid with coral, lapis lazuli, and turquoise. To the right of the dragon handle is a figure of Chenrezig (the embodiment of compassion) in coral; to the left is a figure of Green Tara (the Bodhisattva of enlightened activity) in turquoise. The dragon handle is crafted from turquoise, coral, and lapis lazuli – as is the teapot’s lid.
In Nepal, the dragon is a mythical creature depicted as a large and powerful serpent with magical or spiritual qualities, revered as representative of the primal forces of nature and the universe. They are associated with wisdom and longevity. The detail and craftsmanship displayed in this unique masterpiece is remarkable.
