This vintage style plate with Dragon and Phoenix ornament, handmade of Tibetan silver and copper, decorated with traditional Chinese style. In Chinese mythology, the dragon and phoenix are two of the most powerful and revered symbols. The dragon is a symbol of masculinity (yang), strength, power, activity. Phoenix is a symbol of the feminine (yin), beauty, grace, and prosperity. Together they represent the union of two opposing but complementary forces that underlies the universe. Their images are often used as a symbol of marital happiness, good luck and prosperity.
