Single horn crouching dragon with pointed tail - Light green mostly opaque jade with much surface damage, pitting and erosion; little evidence of calcification.
- Animal is crouching low to the ground with mouth open and large fang.
- Surface decoration consists of incised lines forming "D" pattern shields along the spine and tail.
- This animal form became very popular in Zhou and Han times. When only one pair of feet are shown, usually called a dragon. When there are two pair, a tiger.
- Notice how the curled back tail conserved jade when carving.
