Regent Bas-Relief – Dragon & Diamonds

Between all the costumes of the Chinese society, the Dragon figure is for sure the most surprising and stimulating over than the most common, representative, fantastic and significant of the Chinese tradition.
Since Neolithic’s faience to archaic bronzes and the Shang’s jades (XVI-XI b.C.), this theme has been reproduced with a constant and endless insistence: we can find it in pottery, lacquers, ceremonial clothing, theaters ceilings, garden’s enclosures, ink drawings..
Zannetti decided to represent the Dragon and his strength on his Regent Watch Collection not only to honor a good-luck and prosperity symbol, but also because the figure’s beauty and fierceness.
