Antique Tibetan Guardian Dragons Wall Sconce Set Brass Bronze Chinese Buddhist
Gorgeous Ornate Set of Sconces. One has a bit more patina than the other. I believe these date to the late 1800s to early 1900s. Authentic and rare pieces of history. Each measures approximately 6" high X 6" wide X 4 deep. Heres a bit of history regarding the dragons significance in the culture. Buddhism came to China from India almost two millennia ago. As Buddhism spread in China, it adapted to Chinese culture. Monks stopped wearing the traditionals affron robes and adopted Chinese-style robes, for example. And in China, Buddhism met dragons. Dragons have been part of Chinese culture for at least 7,000 years. In China, dragons have long symbolized power, creativity, heaven, and good fortune.

They are thought to have authority over bodies of water, rain, floods, and storms. In time, Chinese Buddhist artists adopted the dragon as a symbol ofenlightenment Today dragons decorate roofs and gates of temples, both as guardians and to symbolize the dragon's power of clarity.
