Description

Tibetan antique furniture with original painting was always unusual to find and is increasingly difficult to come by.

The dragon (Druk in Tibetan) is a symbol of power and authority and was associated with the water element rather than fire as in the west. The dragon is an ancient symbol and recognizable examples can be found as early as the Han dynasty (206 BC - AD 211).


From Tibet
