Item Details

Description

A beautiful finial from a Buddhist monk's staff, made of iron with delicate damascened gold gilt forming a series of swirling motifs around the cylindrical, socket-like form. One side features a tab with a heavy ring projecting, used to create noise when it moved to announce the monk's presence. The gilt wraps around the body depicting four identical dragons, in two identical pairs flanking a central linear longevity symbol known as Double Happiness; below them is a series of mountains, each depicted as a series of rolling, concentric curves. The flat head is also decorated with the Double Happiness symbol upon the circular face. Size: 3.375" L x 2.125" W (8.6 cm x 5.4 cm); 4.125" H (10.5 cm) on included custom stand.
