Design Concept

A motif revered by our ancestors, this sculpture is an amalgamation of the features of several animals and symbolizes great strength. The two handles are inspired by a dragon motif from the Western Zhou Dynasty that embodies the humility and self-discipline of a gentleman who is also gentle as jade. The three legs covered in the taotie motif represents stability. 

從西周開始廣為流傳的銘文「子子孫孫永寶用」，是希望將家族的輝煌，隨鼎永傳子孫。鼎，成為代代相傳的重要精神和文化象徵。鼎雙耳的圖騰取材自西周龍紋佩，謙謙君子，溫良如玉。雙龍形似雙翼，雙翼如飛代表進取之心，奮發向上。展翼翔龍鼎是此系列中，雙耳最長的一款，誇張處理的雙耳產生一種時空的延伸感，與過往形成一種無形的連接，承前啟後。鼎內壁「子孫永寶用」的字樣呈360°排布，在拋光外壁的映襯下若隱若現，希望福德綿延，子孫賢善。三足是穩固的象徵，足上均飾有饕餮紋，這種先人所敬畏的圖騰，集合各種動物的特徵，蘊含著強大的力量。

* Note: As the art pieces are individually hand-made, the color and dimensions will vary slightly.
