Pewter Snow Dragon Figurine
I have a pewter snow dragon in my collection which I like very much. It's bigger than all my other figurines, standing at close to 12cm tall. It's pretty heavy too.
This snow dragon is of the western or European type, with a pair of huge bat-like wings. A snow dragon is supposed to live in cold areas and are usually white or light bluish in colour. At least, that's what little I could find out about it.
The other thing about a snow dragon is that it is supposed to breathe snow and hail. So it's a complete opposite of the usual fire-breathing dragon. This figurine looks like something straight out of a scene from a fantasy novel. The snow dragon looks viciously fierce with its neck fully stretched. It appears to be making a loud roar, or possibly throwing a stream of snow or hail at an enemy or a potential prey. This is how it looks like from the front...
Cool...
The thing that it's perching on looks like part of a boat to me, with its rather long tail wrapping around it. The wings look great. I especially like the two talons on the tip of each wing. And here's a look at the wings from the back...
Looks like a bat, doesn't it?
This snow dragon didn't come cheap. But I willingly parted with my hard-earned cash to get my hands on it. My friends couldn't understand why. But you will, if you're a serious collector of something.
