Commanding, intricate, and built with extraordinary depth, the Tang Dragon Guardian Statue by Coppertist.Wu is a true collector piece inspired by the gilt bronze dragons of the Tang Dynasty.
The dragon rises through sculpted clouds and mist with a powerful sense of movement, its body covered in more than 1,000 individually rendered scales and finished with sharply defined claws, layered metalwork, and flowing ornamental detail.
At nearly a kilogram in weight, this is not a small decorative figure. It has the presence of a serious art object — substantial in the hand, visually complex from every angle, and made to anchor a room, altar, or Cabinet of Curiosities.
Powerful, mythic, and unapologetically statement-level.

✨ About Coppertist.Wu
Based in Hong Kong, Coppertist.Wu creates highly detailed jewelry and sculptural objects that blur the line between adornment, collectible art, and miniature engineering.
Each piece begins as an original concept and moves through intricate modeling, material selection, casting, finishing, and hand-detailing. Their larger sculptural works push that process further, combining mythology, movement, texture, and mixed metals into objects designed to be explored rather than simply displayed.
✨ Care
● Display on a stable, dry surface
● Avoid prolonged moisture and harsh chemicals
● Dust gently with a soft brush or cloth
● Do not use abrasive cleaners on mixed-metal or oxidized areas
● Natural patina may develop over time and add character to the piece
