The Beauty of Harmony is small in size, but its diminutive form holds unbounded wisdom. This crystal paperweight continues a LIULI tradition of combining the Taiji symbol (yin-yang symbol) with the head of a dragon. Here, the dragon's body is drawn into a circle to represent the cycle of yin and yang, harmony, peace, and wisdom. Its head is intricately detailed with a tendril motif. The design echoes that of China's "first dragon," a jade artifact from the kingdom of Hongshan. The glimmering amber and subtle coloration yield a powerful, enigmatic effect as only liuli can.
This piece is absolutely beautiful. The recipient (my sister) loved it. She held it up to the sun and the colors shone through magnificently. The work on this piece is flawless and the box that housed this paper weight was gorgeous as well. Delivery was quick and on time. Thank you.. Darlene. Coldstream, BC. Tue Jun 08 2021
