Dragon made in silver that presents in the area of the mouth a stopper, indicating its functionality. In traditional Chinese culture, the dragon represents the power of change of nature, the Tao, as well as the concept of yang (masculine), and is related to the weather as a propitiator of rain and water. It is also often used as a national symbol of China, and in fact it appeared on the national flag until the end of the Qing dynasty. On the other hand, the dragon has aggressive and warlike connotations in Chinese mythology.
