This vintage coal iron is adorned with an intricate carving of a Chinese dragon. In traditional Chinese-Indonesian customs, household items such as cloth irons, bedding sheets, tea sets, and chopsticks were commonly given as wedding gifts, symbolizing blessings for a harmonious and prosperous household.

In ancient Chinese mythology, the dragon was revered as the “Ruler of Beasts” and became a powerful symbol of imperial authority. Today, it continues to embody qualities such as wealth, strength, and courage—making this ornately carved iron not only a utilitarian object of the past but also a meaningful cultural artifact.
