Type A jadeite jade Dragon from Burma, carved in high relief with exceptional attention to anatomical detail. Attractive green tonal variation ranging from deeper emerald green to paler translucent areas, used effectively to accentuate the dragon’s head, body, and tail. The translucency and polish allow light to penetrate the carving, highlighting depth and internal texture without obscuring the fine surface work.
Dragon carvings in jadeite hold long-standing cultural significance, symbolizing power, protection, prosperity, and authority. Well-executed dragon carvings in untreated Burmese jadeite are increasingly scarce, particularly pieces that combine strong material quality with skilled, highly detailed workmanship
