Coiling Dragon Flame Taoist Carving

The dragon curls through the center of an irregular block. Flame-like ridges rise along the upper edge and continue onto the reverse.

Look first at the outline and relief of the coiling dragon flame carving. Its place in the Daojing collection reflects the use of ornament and inscription to carry a personal intention. Choose the particular design that speaks to the occasion, rather than assuming every motif has the same devotional use.

For a shelf or altar, consider the object from your usual viewing height. Leave enough space around the outline for the carving to be seen. Display supports and neighboring objects in a photograph are not a reliable guide to its scale.
