Treasure Keeper

The early Chinese believed in four Magical, Spiritual, and Benevolent animals; the Dragon, the Phoenix, the Tortoise, and the Unicorn. The dragon was the most revered of all. Ancient scholars characterized these glorious beasts according to color, body style, and purpose. Our “Treasure Keeper” is one of these magical dragons. This beautiful and mystical creature is the guardian of all the jewels , Gold, and Silver hidden in the earth. In it’s claw it holds an enormous magical pearl, which has the power to multiply whatever it touches! The Ancients believed the “pearl” symbolized the most precious treasure: “Wisdom.” Dragons have magical powers to control the seas, the skies, the earth, and to protect the heavens. These Mystical Dragons have a uniquely magical birth: Dragon eggs, deposited on riverbanks, are protected from harm by enchantments. The Baby dragon remains in the jewel-like shell for 1000 years! At the appointed time, the skies fill with lightening and thunder signaling the hatchling’s birth. It is said that another 1500 years will pass before the dragon reaches it’s full length! And another 500 years to develop horns. If it is to become a winged dragon, that will take another 1000 years! Dragons were present at the beginning of Time. They are cosmic representations of the creation of the universe. In Ancient China, The dragons called, “River Lords”, determined the course of rivers; the Weathermakers”, controlled wind and rain ; the “Celestial Dragons” protected the heavens and the palaces of the Gods. In reverence to these glorious creatures and to the scholars who passed on their history, we have created this image of “The Treasure Keeper” dragon. Wear it and experience the Magic and Wisdom of Dragons.
