Asian metal cigarette case with dragon – relief decoration, vintage

This compact metal cigarette case features a rich relief design with a writhing dragon surrounded by traditional Asian symbols. The dragon, a symbol of strength, protection, and prosperity, is deeply and dynamically worked, giving the surface an almost sculptural quality. The relief contrasts beautifully with the smooth, lightly patinated metal background.

The tube opens on a hinge and has a simple metal clip on the inside, designed to securely hold cigarettes or small papers. Its size and weight give it a solid feel, yet it remains elegant and portable. The signs of wear on the exterior enhance its vintage character and indicate actual use.

An object that effortlessly balances between functional utility and decorative collectible. Suitable for lovers of Asian symbolism, smoking accessories, or small objects with a distinct story.
