asian dragon candleholder

[francantolin]

Hello everybody,

I just bought this big candleholder in a small ''2nd hand, everything to sell'' Shop,

I really like the dragon head so I bought it, too if it can be a big tourist stuff...

I wonder about the origin ?
It was written chinese candleholder but I do't think so.

Looks a little like the head of tibetan trumps or Thai dragons.
It seems made of silvered brass or paktong.

It don't seems really recent but can it be a little old ?

All comments welcomed

Thank you !
