LATE MING DYNASTY, 16TH -17TH CENTURY
The front is cast in openwork with a horned, three-clawed dragon pulling itself up from the bottom to the top amidst layers of scrolling lingzhi stems, the design highlighted with gold splashes. Attached to the back is a hinged back-plate cast in openwork in the center with a lingzhi sprig that folds down to form the center of a rectangular tube into which a key would be inserted.
3 in. (7.6 cm.) high, cloth box

Stylistically this unusual lock or fitting can be compared to jade plaques of Ming date in which a dragon is shown amidst lingzhi or flower scroll, such as the white jade square belt plaque carved in openwork and dated to the Ming dynasty, illustrated in Jades of Tang through Qing Dynasties, Taipei, 2002, pl. 59.
