The Imperial Dragon Seat by sculptor Zhu Bingren - which comes with an equally finely decorated footstool - is one of more than 400 objets d'art on show at the China Art Craft of Design Quintessence Exposition at the Hangzhou Peace International Convention & Exhibition Center.

Opening yesterday (October 29th), the exhibition consists of various works from more than 380 arts and crafts professionals from across China, Xinhua reports.
