It is not the Western dragon that hoards gold and burns the village down; it is the one that brings the rain. Emperors took it as their personal emblem, farmers prayed to it in a drought, and it settled into the thing you wear when you want luck and you want to be left alone at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe head is cast long and narrow with the jaw pushed forward, so it hangs as a vertical line rather than a lump. \u003cstrong\u003eLook at the horns.\u003c\/strong\u003e They branch backwards like a deer's antlers, and that is the quickest way to tell a properly drawn Chinese dragon from a fantasy one. The whiskers curl off the muzzle, the mane runs back between the horns, and the mouth is open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAntiqued stainless steel, dark down in the recesses and bright along the raised edges, on a wheat chain heavy enough to carry the head without looking apologetic about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor anyone who wants a dragon that reads as Chinese rather than fantasy.\u003c\/strong\u003e Most steel dragon pendants are drawn as Western beasts, squat skull and no antlers, so the horns are the thing to check before you buy any of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLooking after it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStainless steel, so it will not rust, will not tarnish and will not leave a green mark. It can stay on in the shower. The darkened recesses are what give the face its depth, so wipe it with a dry cloth rather than scrubbing the shadow out of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the narrow dragon. If you want one with mass instead of length, the Guardian Dragon Head Pendant is the other shape entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel, antiqued finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePendant size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40 x 18mm \/ 1.6 x 0.7in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChain:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60cm \/ 24in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotif:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chinese dragon head, long (龍)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Waterproof and non-tarnishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Earth Tibet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52407386177838,"sku":"200000639:201683807#60CM;200001034:201673808#Steel With Chain","price":44.79,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/4807\/7102\/files\/fortune-dragon-protection-necklace-1.webp?v=1788411278","url":"https:\/\/www.earthtibet.com\/products\/fortune-dragon-protection-necklace","provider":"Earth Tibet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
