About This Piece
A dragon coils down a long oval plaque beside a golden strip of skin. The reverse remains plain, making the coloured edge and flowing front relief the defining details.
Carving details and what to examine
Compare the outer profile in the full view with the smaller carved details in the close-ups. An angled view helps separate changes in surface depth from differences caused by lighting. Photographs are useful for studying the composition, but do not establish the maker, the tools used or a workmanship grade.
