a dragon that really blows smoke! at first glance this is a whimsical, ornate Balinese dragon pendant, which it is — and, it's also designed as a pipe or cigarette/cigar holder. we're not paraphernalia experts over here, so hard to know its exact functional potential
where it as a pendant? us it on an altar? hang if from your chatelaine? this piece is an amazing example of an artisan jeweler practicing free will, so get weird with it!

-dome notable dents and dings throughout the underside of the dragon's neck
-does it work? maybe! being sold as ornamental, because we aren't pipe testers
-stones are free from damage
-does it look the nose is bent toward one eye more than the other? yes, probably. it's difficult to tell if this was an original or time-earned quirk
