The bronze dragon is 34cm high and 28cm long. Cast with iron core and gilded outer layer, it is delicately made into a lifelike sculpt. The dragon has a giant head and slender neck, with its mouth open and tongue protruding, its body winds into an S-shape. On its head are two long fork-shaped horns. With its eyes widely open, the image is ferocious and fearful indeed. Its feet are as sharp and strong as those of the eagles, while the rear body is slightly upturned in a lightsome and elegant manner. It's truly a masterpiece of art full of imagination.
