When we were looking for new products to add to our shop we could not resist when we saw the "Arching Dragon" on the desk in our manufactory. Even though this hand carved brush rest symbolizes the mighty dragon “ the most powerful and fear-inducing of all Chinese mythological figures we could not help but find this specimen somehow cute.

Maybe that makes him the perfect brush stand for smaller or thinner brushes which can be gently placed between the humps on his back in between strokes. The dragon stands on a broader board-like supporting structure which gives it stability even for longer brushes.
