(VTC News) - To welcome the Year of the Dragon 2024, the mascot "Hi long van" (dragon holding a pearl hidden in the clouds), a handcrafted product plated with 24k gold, is about to be launched on the market.
According to researchers, the dragon (thin) is just an imaginary animal that does not exist in real life. Of the 12 zodiac animals chosen as mascots of the year, only the dragon is a legendary animal. However, in the East, the dragon symbolizes wealth and power. Therefore, the dragon mascot is very popular every Lunar New Year.
Especially in the Lunar New Year 2024, which is the year of the Dragon, the image of the dragon is even more sought after. Understanding this, sculptor - painter Vu Dung ( Hanoi ) has launched the mascot "Hi Long Van" - called the dragon holding a pearl, curled up, hiding in the clouds - a handcrafted product with special materials such as lacquer or 24k gold.
This work was chosen by Mr. Vu Dung with unique features of Vietnamese dragons of the Ly Dynasty to create a product with a strong Vietnamese character.
" Hi Long Van is created in the shape of a dragon holding a pearl, curled up, hidden in the clouds - the image of a steadfast hidden dragon, understanding itself, understanding the times, waiting for the right opportunity without being arrogant, " Mr. Vu Dung explained.
Lacquer dragon works are crafted by artisans through many elaborate stages.
The product is completely handmade, with an extremely elaborate and meticulous process.
After being designed and shaped, the dragon mascot is covered with lacquer.
In addition, Mr. Vu Dung also provided the market with a 24k gold-plated dragon statue this Tet.
Each line and detail is not only beautiful but also inspired by the artist's artistic spirit of fluttering and curving butterflies.
The price of each lacquer dragon product ranges from 3,000,000 VND - 6,000,000 VND, while higher-end products plated with gold cost up to 12,000,000 - 20,000,000 VND.
