The dragon is one of the most powerful symbols in Eastern cultures — embodying wisdom, strength, good fortune and mastery over the forces of nature. This 37 cm red flying dragon decoration is made from coconut shell and natural materials in Indonesia, where dragon carving and coconut craftsmanship have a rich tradition. It is perfect as garden decoration or as an indoor ornament.
Coconut shell — natural and durable material
The dragon is made from coconut shell and natural materials (fibre, wire, paint) — coconut shell is a hard, durable and extremely versatile natural material. In Indonesia, almost every part of the coconut is used — the shell is equally suited to jewellery, sculptures and decorative elements. Red is the traditional Eastern colour for dragons — red symbolises good fortune and joy.
The symbolism of the dragon
In Chinese and broadly Eastern culture, the dragon is not a malevolent creature — on the contrary, it is a symbol of wisdom, strength, good fortune and prosperity. In feng shui, the dragon functions as a protector of the home and is held to repel negative energies. The form of the flying dragon symbolises freedom and the elevation of the spirit. Placed in the home, it represents positive energy and protection.
Garden and indoor decoration
The 37 cm dragon decoration looks beautiful secured on a garden stake, branch or railing, or attached to a balcony rail. Indoors it is also striking hung on a wall, placed in a window or suspended from the ceiling. It suits Eastern, bohemian and spiritual interiors particularly well.
