Hidden in the Green of the Christmas Tree

Among the green of the Christmas tree, the green dragon sits well camouflaged upon the craggy hood of this glass orb. Did the storm carry him here? After all, his name is 'Tempest' – and one can only hope he would rather adorn your Christmas tree than vanish back into the mysterious world of dragons with the next gale. The wonderful Christmas bauble featuring the richly detailed green dragon is crafted from high-quality, lovingly hand-painted polyresin. It comes from the popular fantasy artist Ruth Thompson and, including the glass orb, measures 14 cm in height, 7 cm in width and 6 cm in depth. The dragon Christmas bauble with the green dragon 'Tempest' would really 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. Throughout the year, she can grace any room. She is also wonderfully suited as a hanging adornment for a special gift, or as a gift in her own right, and comes complete with a beautiful gift box.

A Green Dragon between Shakespeare and the Forest

The name 'Tempest' points to Shakespeare's final comedy 'The Tempest', in which magic, a cunning wind and a mysterious island come together – a literary backdrop that lends this dragon real depth. Unlike fiery red or icy blue dragons, the green dragon traditionally stands for forest, nature and concealment: in Chinese mythology Qinglong, the azure-green dragon of the East, is regarded as guardian of spring and renewal; in modern fantasy, green dragons often embody the cunning, nature-bound side of their kind. Tempest therefore makes an expressive collectible for dragon collectors, year-round window décor, or a Christmas gift for dragon fans seeking a tree ornament well clear of plain glass baubles, with genuine mythic substance.
