Vividly sculpted in dynamic motion, the dragon arches its powerful body above billowing clouds, jaws agape and whiskers flaring in a display of fierce vitality. Delicate modeling captures the tension in its sinewy limbs and the crisp articulation of scales, while the lustrous Qingbai glaze pools gracefully in the recesses, enhancing the beast’s formidable presence. A flaming pearl is clutched triumphantly in its claw, symbolizing power and good fortune.
