Nothing else in the catalogue approaches it on either number. It takes a chain up to \u003cstrong\u003e12mm\u003c\/strong\u003e, and it needs one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is \u003cstrong\u003epierced openwork\u003c\/strong\u003e: the ground between the animals is cut away entirely, so despite the weight the disc reads as lacework with light coming through it rather than as a solid plate. That is the only way a piece this wide is wearable at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003eGreek key band\u003c\/strong\u003e frames the full circumference — flat, geometric, and the one still element on the whole design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside it the \u003cstrong\u003enine dragons\u003c\/strong\u003e spiral outward from the centre in a pinwheel rather than a symmetrical ring, so the composition turns. Bodies overlap and pass behind one another, heads break the plane at different depths, claws catch across the gaps. A larger \u003cstrong\u003edragon head faces forward\u003c\/strong\u003e at the centre with a \u003cstrong\u003edomed pearl\u003c\/strong\u003e beneath it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth faces are finished — on an openwork piece the reverse is visible through the gaps, so it cannot be left flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNine is the imperial number. The emperor’s robes carried nine dragons; the nine-dragon screens at the Forbidden City and Beihai Park are the canonical version of this composition.
