This piece was carved from a piece of fine-grained multi colors Burma Jadeite Jade. It is carved with an awesome dragon coiling around a finger citron with cash and auspicious clouds around. If you may notice the dragon is looking at a small mouse who is playing on the dragon's tail. It conveys a traditional idiom in China 望子成龙( Wang Zi Cheng Long) which means holding high hopes for one?s child. 望 Wang means Hope, Zi 子 means Child, Cheng 成 means Become, Long 龙 means Dragon. So literally 望子成龙 means hoping the child become a dragon. If you know more about Chinese dragon, you would understand this idiom better! In China the Mouse is called Zi 子 also. So a dragon and a mouse means holding high hopes for one's child.
