Specifications: H 41.5 × W 41.5 cm (Including frame) | Authentic Woodblock Print | Handmade Lokta Paper | Premium See-Through Framing
We proudly present an extraordinary graphic, richly textured, and decorative masterpiece for high-end interiors: an original Oriental woodcut woodblock print, depicting two mythological five-clawed Imperial Dragons. This distinctive artwork dates from the 20th century (approx. ). With a total square dimension of 41.5 x 41.5 cm, this work is in excellent, unrestored condition, float-mounted in a professional, glass see-through frame.
Imperial Iconography & Premium See-Through Presentation
This hand-printed artwork excels in its refined details and instantly brings a warm, serene oriental atmosphere as exclusive wall art to any modern, brutalist, or Wabi-Sabi inspired interior:
The Five-Clawed Imperial Dragons: The circular composition is dominated by two powerful, intertwined dragons chasing the flaming pearl amidst seas of clouds and fire. Historically, the possession of five claws was exclusively reserved for imperial courts and the highest Buddhist monasteries.
Handmade Lokta & Mulberry Paper: The print is manually pressed with traditional soot ink onto a golden-brown base of fibrous, pre-industrial handmade paper. The raw, hairy frayed edges are float-mounted on a dark back plate of torn mulberry paper.
Exclusive See-Through Frame: The reverse side reveals a high-quality and professional glass see-through framing. The handmade paper is float-positioned between the glass panes using a mechanical clamping and sliding system, ensuring the raw fiber biology on the back remains fully visible.
