Dragon Talismans
A talisman
or an emblem of Dragons, being very much a part of human history, has been traditionally
incorporated in coats of arms or other heraldic items by leaders, kings or conquerors.
This is because, as a symbol, Dragons
have always been considered the embodiment of great, imposing and terrifying
might.
In most
Western Civilizations, Britain being one, the Dragon symbol was at one time used
as an ensign of war and was regarded also as being symbolic of victory.
Over the
years this talisman of might and conquest has evolved to have a more peaceful
significance. Although still considered chiefly
an emblem of authority, Dragon talismans are now considered by many to be a
fortunate charm, bringing forth longevity, peace and felicity. Exquisite miniature dragons therefore are carved
in wood, stone, jade or metal for sale to be worn or treasured for their auspicious
influences.
