MMA 1992 Double Dragon Key Ring, Metropolitan Museum Vintage Gold Tone Dragon Clasp, Museum Replica Collectible Accessory

✦ MMA Museum Series, 1992
This distinctive double dragon key ring comes from the Metropolitan Museum of Art (MMA) collection, dated 1992.

Inspired by historical dragon motifs often found in medieval and mythological decorative arts, the design transforms symbolic imagery into a functional everyday object.

✨ Design & Function
The piece features two sculpted dragon heads facing each other, joined by a curved gold-tone bar.
The dragon heads are finely detailed with expressive eyes and textured features
Both heads can rotate downward, creating a functional opening mechanism
The curved bar forms a secure key ring structure
Gold-tone metal construction with smooth polished finish
The rotating structure gives it both visual interest and practical usability — a clever blend of ornament and mechanism.

🐉 Symbolism
Dragons have long represented:
Protection
Strength
Wisdom
Guardianship

In many cultures, dragons are protectors of treasures — making this motif especially fitting for a key ring.
