Light passes through the gaps between the animals, which is why a disc this size can carry 137g of 24K gold and still read as lacework rather than a slab.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003eGreek key band\u003c\/strong\u003e runs the full circumference as a flat outer ring, and it is the only straight-edged element on the piece — a hard geometric frame holding everything that moves inside it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003enine dragons\u003c\/strong\u003e are arranged around the centre in symmetry, bodies interlocking so each one’s coils become the negative space for the next.

On an openwork disc it is the right choice: a flat band would read as a solid block against all that piercing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt \u003cstrong\u003e70mm across\u003c\/strong\u003e this is a chest piece. Nine is the imperial number in Chinese tradition — the emperor’s robes carried nine dragons, and nine-dragon screens stand at the Forbidden City and Beihai Park.
