A superb finely executed cast glass sculpture of two reclining dragon. The mythical animals have been depicted with finely incised and low-relief details which immediately transport the admirer to an imaginary world. The extremely detailed representation of the beast highlights the skills of the artisan who produced this sculpture. The clarity of the glass reminds the observed of the naturally occurring rock crystal, while its brilliance recalls that of water.
