Nine Dragon Transformations · Turning Gaze

Nine postures, each with its own expression. Nine Dragon Transformations · Turning Gaze shares the collection’s round thin rim and graphite-black colored brass, with restrained warm-brass accents on selected scales and horn tips. A single dragon follows the left rim downward while its neck bends back above, turning the head toward the upper right; whiskers answer the returning tail. Fine scales and flowing whiskers follow the continuous metal field, while the central mounting area stays quiet and both auxiliary apertures remain open. A returning arc at the upper left and short whisker lines at the lower right recall the turn of the dragon. Black wrapping, ivory diamond windows and coordinated brass fittings connect the two faces and continue the collection’s shared palette and ornament.
