A Glowing Fire Dragon with Glass Orb

Hopefully 'Inferno' is just the name of the fiery red dragon on the craggy hood of this glass orb – and not his intended programme... Once he adorns your Christmas tree, he simply cannot be overlooked. This magical Christmas bauble, featuring the richly detailed dragon crafted from high-quality, lovingly hand-painted polyresin, comes from the popular fantasy artist Ruth Thompson. Including the glass orb, this Christmas tree ornament measures 15 cm in height, 7 cm in width and 6 cm in depth. However, he would be far too special to adorn the Christmas tree only at Christmas, for he brings a touch of mystery into any home all year round. The dragon Christmas bauble is just as beautiful at the window, and as a hanging adornment for a special gift, or as a gift in its own right, the dragon 'Inferno' is wonderfully suited – and comes complete with a beautiful gift box.

A Red Dragon between Dante and Welsh Heraldry

The name 'Inferno' goes back to the Italian word for hell and, since Dante's Divine Comedy, has become a literary emblem of immense fire and cleansing flame. Yet the red dragon is far from purely sinister in mythology: he graces the Welsh flag, is regarded in Chinese tradition as a bringer of good fortune and prosperity, and Tolkien's Smaug has shaped the image of the fiery red creature deep into modern fantasy. This cultural breadth makes the Inferno dragon an expressive tree ornament, year-round window décor or a distinctive Christmas gift for dragon collectors who value fantasy collectibles with genuine depth.
