Antique pair of carved elements of buffalo horns depicting a phoenix and a dragon. Asia, XX century

2024 promises to be powerful, like its symbol - the green dragon. Once every sixty years, an amazing creature is born, which is the creator of all things, according to Tibetan, Chinese and Japanese legends. The dragon is a symbol of power, infinite wisdom, unquenchable power. This pair of buffalo horns will be an extraordinary gift for someone born in the year of the dragon and someone whose totem is this rare mythical reptile. The dragon is a flow of yang energy, male. Paired with the phoenix (yin energy, feminine), they form a harmonious union that brings wealth, wisdom, rebirth and life. Both symbols denote a vibrant, amazing life. The dragon burns all the obsolete, the phoenix is reborn from the ashes - a real harmony born of the universe.

Horn has always been used as a quality surface for engraving and carving, but it is not exactly bone. Products made of horn are worthy to complement an exotic collection and add their own charm to the interior.
