Antique Chinese Dragon

This has a certificate of authenticity as being qing dynasty medallion of a dragon. No stamp but certificate of authenticity dated it to at lest 1870s. Any ideas to find out more about it?

 

I can't help with the dragon but can you load some photos?.

 

Those pesky invisible dragons.

 

Just like our dragon, @Any Jewelry, mighty but invisible.

 

Found one

 

Hi Estater - It would be helpful to get your take on what material this medallion is made of - pottery of some kind? a metal? Measurements? When you say "No stamp" does that mean there are no markings anywhere on it? Where is the COA from?

 

Sorry link didn't work, I'll try again!

 

Ooops. I didn't mean for it to be a link. I meant our illustrious member@Any Jewelry Too much Holiday celebration.

 

No it's ok Kiko,it's not you , I was trying to add a funny link to your comment but it didn't work

 

I get it now. Sometimes I need to be hit on the head.

 

Looks like a lion to me.

 

Well, you must be right then, as a dragon would surely recognize one of its kin.

 

Perfect!!!!!!

 

Could we see the back as well, please, and a photo of the certificate?
Did it say it was from that period, or the style being of that period?

It is very nice, but it looks like a replica to me. I could be wrong of course. It is certainly a lion, with that short nose and curly mane, not a dragon....
