Golden Dragon Pendant Necklace Hand-Painted - South Vietnam National Guard Emblem
Hand-Painted 3D Wooden Pendant – Emblem of the South Vietnamese National Guard
(Garde Nationale du Vietnam Sud)
This hand-painted, 3D-engraved wooden pendant faithfully recreates the emblem of the South Vietnamese National Guard—a military unit established by the French colonial authorities in the Autonomous Republic of Cochinchina, and later integrated into the regular armed forces of the Republic of Vietnam.
The design is inspired by the original insignia, featuring a dragon wrapped around a sword, symbolizing strength, righteousness, and unwavering spirit in battle. The red background represents bravery and sacrifice, while the gold border adds an elegant touch, reflecting nobility and authority.
Compared to the original emblem, the pendant has been simplified and adapted to suit its compact shape and size, while preserving the historical essence and symbolic meaning.
More than just a handcrafted accessory, this pendant is a miniature historical tribute—honoring the early formation of South Vietnam’s independent military forces.
