Obverse description Cast openwork design featuring two sinuous dragons in high relief flanking the central square hole at the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions, with two seal-script Chinese characters enclosed in circular cartouches at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock. The pierced field between the dragons creates a characteristic open-worked aesthetic typical of East Asian charm pieces.
