This other-worldly dragon cruises the skies with impunity, the top predator of its alien world. Both feared and revered on its native planet, this fierce four-eyed flying fortress commands the highest respect. The menacingly beautiful skull carving exudes such strong energy, one can only imagine the power and awe felt by the alien natives in the presence of their living, breathing god-dragon; this supreme power animal from another world. When human explorers first discovered this world, overcome by its lush, green beauty, they thought it an Eden, and so named it. But soon they would discover that this alien paradise harbored hidden dangers. On their first exploratory expedition, the group had just finished setting up camp on a spectacular cliff-top vantage point, and all were at the cliff's edge, enjoying the amazing alien vista. Flying so high above the humans that it appeared as nothing but a small bird to them, the huge dragon with its far-reaching, ultra-high resolution quadrascopic vision spotted easy prey, fully exposed and ready to be snatched up. Diving noiselessly with incredible speed, it took the screams of the unfortunate human-prey being carried off in its talons to alert the others to the presence of the huge beast. Startled, frozen in their tracks, the rest of the expedition team enjoyed a few seconds of deer-in-the-headlights shock before hastily abandoning their camp, and retreating to the safety of their landing craft. From peaceful awestruck wonder, to fearful prey-flight response in an instant, the shaken humans reflected on their experience from the safety of their metal shell. The dragon had instantaneously destroyed their naive first impression of this world. Feeling as if evil had been unleashed on their newly discovered Eden, the humans decided to rename the planet. Using another name from their own ancient mythology, after the Greek figure who is said to have released all evils onto the world by opening her famous box, they named it Pandora. And the beast responsible for such an abrupt change of heart, they called the Pandora Dragon. This fearsomely fabulous skull is carved from a single piece of top-quality white jade. From the dual blade-like crests adorning the skull, to the triad of fearsome fangs poised to bite; this sculpture is a seamless, one-piece carving, executed with artistic skills of the highest order. A one-of-a-kind masterpiece sure to impress all who see it, the new owner will be lucky to have this gorgeous piece. This is a White Jade skull. It's 8.0 inches long from front to back.
