Some Questions About Cover Art for a Book about China
Red Star Over China is the story of the first Western journalist who made it into the Red controlled areas of china during the 30s. Some earlier edition sof the book have a dragon on the front (image attached) and I was curious what dragons of this style typically mean, and if possible, if there are any resources for figuring out who the artist was (the book itself doesn't say).

Could this ivory carving really be ming? I can't read the characters after "Da Ming," but the ivory doesn't look as old as I would expect, and the line work of the carving looks a little sloppy. If not ming, is it possible to estimate a date for this piece?
