Chinese bronze fitting identified in the accompanying collection documentation as a dragon-form tent spike cover from the Ming Dynasty. The piece is cast in the form of a stylized dragon head with an elongated neck and decorative openwork or projecting elements, and is mounted on a custom display stand. The bronze shows dark aged patina, oxidation, surface deposits, and wear throughout. No additional provenance, dimensions, or dating information are provided in the collection paperwork, so the Ming Dynasty attribution should be considered based on the accompanying documentation rather than independently verified. Please review all photographs for condition and details.
