Long life and prosperity to you! This lovely figurine is made from a heavy resin and painted with a deep red lacquer. In Chinese mythology, the dragon and the tortoise are 2 of the most powerful symbols of wisdom, success, and longevity. Traditionally the figurine is of a tortoise with a dragon's head standing on a pile of coins. A turtle stands on the back of the tortoise and the dragon's mouth holds a coin. We do not include a coin with this dragon, but you can provide your own and wedge it into the mouth if you like. Size: About 3.25" long and 2.5" tall
