Taihu stone exquisite carving features a dragon-shaped ornament on the top.

This Shoushan stone round-carved “Dragon in the House” (axe with dragon) horizontal ornament is carved from a single piece of natural red-yellow Shoushan stone with warm smooth texture and natural red-brown color, combining round carving and deep relief with exquisite skill, in a unique horizontal axe shape. It measures approx. 35cm in height / 14.5cm in width / 4.2cm in thickness (14×6×2in), with a double-layer brocade base, embodying the strong, grand presence of a traditional home-protecting auspicious ornament.
The ornament takes an axe shape (homophone for “house” in Chinese), with deep relief of a dragon playing with a pearl on the axe face with fine dragon scales and cloud details, a round-carved dragon looking back on the axe handle, complemented by coin and longevity patterns, with two dragons echoing vividly. The hand-carved details are three-dimensional and vivid, free of rigid machine carving traces. The overall horizontal shape is unique, strong and grand, showcasing exquisite, sophisticated carving craftsmanship.
