Dragon Egg
Dragon Egg
Description - Egg shell is carefully broken apart into two separate halves which fit back together perfectly.   The drawing on the egg is an abstraction of a five clawed dragon.  The egg is encased in a star-shaped toothpick sculpture.

Symbolism -  The dragon is the typical chinese family protector spirit.  The egg shell, being repaired without leaving a whole is a zen concept.  The outside surface is complete, yet totally empty, just as the goal of meditation is to be totally alert , yet without the concept of one's self.
