Subject:Carved Chinese Dragon with Characters
Posted By: Dave Mon, Mar 12, 2012 IP: 68.145.172.23 Can anyone help me decipher the characters carved on to the base of this carved Chinese dragon? It was purchased in Hong Kong in the early 1950s.

Posted By: Bill H Tue, Mar 13, 2012 The characters read down as the Chinese name Ke Nenyi (�_㜛˷). There were no apparently relevant responses to a Google search of the characters or their pinyin transcription.
