Title: “GOLDEN DRAGONS”
Size: 40” W x 30” H (unframed) Sold
Story:
In ancient China, dragons did not breathe fire. They were wise and caring and guarded the wind, the rain, the rivers, precious metals and gems. Legend says that the farther dragons travel from their home in China, the more toes they lose. This is why the Chinese Dragon has five toes, the Korean Dragon has four toes and the Japanese Dragon has three. Fortunately, when wandering dragons return home to China and its ruling Emperor, all their missing toes grow back. But, as most dragons prefer to keep all their toes all the time, few dragons ever wander very far from home...save this bunch of wild Golden Dragons in this painting.
