The dragon headed tortoise incorporates two of the four celestial animals of Chinese mythology; the Azure Dragon symbolic of the east and spring, the Black Tortoise symbolic of the west and winter. Other symbolic meanings of the animals are dragon (luck), tortoise (long life) and baby tortoise (new beginnings).
This Turtle Dragon statue sends powerful Feng Shui message of Long Life, Prosperity and Fertility or New Beginnings. It should be placed in the wealth, health or romance section of the room, house or office. As legend has it, to improve fertility place an i-ching coin or a piece of red ribbon in its mouth.
