http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaolin_monks

You are bidding in ONE (1) medallion, the one in the first five pics; the others are only illustrative pix.

Shipping: $3.99 ( through USPS First Class)

I accept PP (PayPal) ONLY, but not money orders, cash or personal checks.
I do combine S&H if you won items into the same day, in such case wait till receive a msg from me. Keep on mind you're getting a bargain, where shipping costs are almost insignificant.
Stay in touch: if you won an item/s and I do not hear from you in a term of 7 days, I'll relist the item/s without notice and I'll keep the credits.

Ask me any question, I will be glad to answer any before bidding. But all my auctions are final: no credits refund, no buyers remorse.

Thanks for looking and good luck.

>>> Really, no idea...this is one of the 20 pounds of Chinese medallions, coins, pendants, statuettes, bamboo traps and stone necklaces I got from a Canada Estate auction years ago; my hobby was give'em as a present to friends and relatives. Now, that about "Dragon" is something related to Secret Brotherhoods, Ancient Lodges, Monk's Hermetic Circles, and all those Ancient Secret Societies what populated China since times when Dragons ( as Egypt Sacred Serpents, Aztec feathered snake "Quetzalcoatl" and Voodoo's "Damballah/Aïda Wedo"=rainbow snakes) were adored as upper Gods... also, ancient Sumerians talked about some personage called "Oannes", half man, half Scaly skinned who's adored as semi god, and Hindus revered to "Kundalini" as the inner serpent. And last, the Holy Bible has a key "being": a Serpent! So, wings or not, it seems that Serpents and Dragon would be the same "beings": ancient mystic archetypes of people around the Globe. It's interesting from the Anthropologist view, but this place is not enough to explain in details.
Thank you for bidding.
