Antique Chinese Dragon Gold Over Red Paint, Architecture Salvage

Description

I have just moved from my house in NJ where I was a big collector of a variety of objects to outfit my big Victorian. Now that we have moved to Florida, there is just no way to keep so many things.
Description
:
I've used this piece in my library in the section of my Asian pieces.
Originally acquired in New Jersey.
I kept at eye level so the unfinished pieces on the top and bottom were not visible.
This is a hand-carved wood dragon figure that is a remnant from a larger piece.
This remnant measures 5.5" long, 2.5" high and 2.5" deep.
Painted gold over red paint.
Has an unusual mark on the top that looks like three circles in a circle.
Has an eye hook on the top so that it can be hung.
Condition
:
Please note this is incomplete and must have come from a larger carved figure.
Gilding is wearing.
I apologize ahead of time for the cost of shipping. I only ship USPS Priority as they supply the boxes and do better with arriving safely.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
